Spiderspun's mission?
To raise Alpha-1 Awareness through the
patient's perspective.
Who created Spiderspun?
By an Alpha-1 patient, Noreen K James.
When was Spiderspun
created?
Spiderspun was officially online October 18th, 2000. Noreen
was about to have a lung surgery on October 27th, 2000 due to a genetic
deficiency called Alpha-1-Antitrypsin
Deficiency. Thus, she designed the web site
to begin an Alpha-1 blog.
Why
the name Spiderspun?
Noreen's husband, Lar, nicknamed her
"spider" in the
1980's.
This was the first web site she ever built, so she called it
Spiderspun.
