Living With DMD - Not The End
Chris Webb, a 39-year old male from Boston, Mass., who lists his occupation as "professional patient :P"; describes his blog thusly: "Duchenne Muscular Dystropy will certainly be touched upon as the title suggests, but it won't be the sole focus of what I write about."

GenMed lab mom
This blog is by a mother who had her son diagnosed and who has worked for Hoffman Lab in Washington DC for seven years. She says in her inagural post: "I've had a chance to observe the comings and goings of many scientists and gotten to know them in ways not normally available to parents. Would I say they are worthy of my trust and hope? What is different about people here that gives them an advantage I look at what they do with their lives - and what is important to them."
