Two Smiles One Hope, Inc. is a Syracuse-based not-for-profit foundation
charged with raising research funding for treatment alternatives and
increasing community awareness for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
The Foundation was founded by Allison Willis, a mom to twin boys with
DMD, and a high school friend of Kristin's husband, Steve.
As you may know, finding a cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy - a fatal
genetic disorder that to date remains the number one genetic killer of
children worldwide – is a cause that is close to our hearts. Since 2003 we have supported the activities of
Ryan's Hope Foundation, an organization founded by Carol's daughter Linda after her son Ryan was diagnosed with DMD.
So, when Allison called asking for help creating a new web site for Two Smiles One Hope, we had to say yes.
While
developing the site our challenge was to use as many free, or low-cost
tools, as we could to keep the web site overhead low. We also wanted to
make it easy for Allison and her husband Matt to make updates to the
site, as well as to give visitors the opportunity to make contributions
online.
The new site -
www.TwoSmilesOneHope.com - is hosted at Yahoo and includes the required functionality using the following tools:
Over
the next few months, we will continue to work with Allison and Matt to
enhance the web site and to support the efforts of this worthwhile
cause.
