About Prescription4Love.com:
Ricky Durham’s brother Keith was the inspiration for Prescription4Love. Keith battled Crohn’s Disease (under IBD) and at times weighed between 75-125 lbs. His normal weight was around 150 lbs. It was difficult for him to disclose his disease to anyone, especially the reality of using a colostomy bag. Wanting to help his brother connect with others, especially others with the same illness, Ricky Durham created Prescription4Love. Although Keith passed away July 15, 2004, he was pleased with the work his brother had begun. Now 6 years later, Prescription4Love has helped over 8,000 people find love and friendship.
Prescription4Love and Ricky Durham are featured in Daryn Kagan’s (from CNN) new book “What’s Possible: 50 True Stories of People Who Dared to Dream They Could Make a Difference”.

Originally from the Congo in Africa, Arnaud was forced to leave his home as a young boy because of war and eventually ended up in Glasgow as an asylum seeker. He faced many obstacles, amongst them his brother was killed as a young soldier, and when he moved to Sighthill, Glasgow, he faced growing up as a youngster in a poor and alien community surrounded by drugs, violence and racism.

Graham Stringer, a Labour MP for Blackley, has come out with some pretty bold claims: Stringer says dyslexia is a myth used to cover poor teaching methods. He says children should be taught to read and write by using synthetic phonics. "The education establishment, rather than admit that their eclectic and incomplete methods for instruction are at fault, have invented a brain disorder called dyslexia," said the MP. Stringer cites the high literacy rates of countries like Nicaragua and South Korea as evidence.
