Note: The Alpha Atlas’s Patient Stories is and has always been open to all Alphas to add their stories in dealing with Alpha-1. |
The Alpha Atlas originally was a thought process that was put into action by Peter D. He thought about all the stories Alphas have in dealing with this disease and why not compile a book of histories of these remarkable people he was talking with online! Peter and his wife Eileen received by snail mail and by e-mail the many stories from several individuals, each one eager to share their “alpha” story. When they finished, they had approximately 89,961 words, 7,923 sentences, and 402,301 characters comprising 121 pages that make up what is known as the Alpha Atlas. Two printings were done and the Atlas was a hit in any magazine rack of the alpha community. Another added plus was that all the proceeds from Atlas sales went right back into the Alpha Community. Sadly there were many untold stories yet to be heard and shared.So when Matt and I were kicking around ideas of the many ways to use this web site, one project I wished to add was an “Online Alpha Atlas.” Here stories can be entered in the form provided on the last page (currently page 2), where a story can be posted to this website.
