Joel's death was the result of a life long battle with Duchenne Muscular
Dystrophy. Information for donations to the Muscular Dystrophy Association
can be found here and will be greatly appreciated (please make donations
in Joel's name, if you so desire):

Perhaps some might prefer not to donate to the MDA, which tend to promote
rather unflattering ideas about disabled people:

A donation to the local Center for Independent Living is a possible
alternative. On the other hand, the MDA may be unenlightened, but they
still provide some degree of assistance.
