A poll by rubyfruit76
September is Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month. To remember and celebrate those among us who are challenged by physical disabilities, let's celebrate movie characters who remind us of the difficulties experienced by, and also the accomplishments of, disabled individuals. Below are several characters, from Jake in 'Avatar' and Lt. Dan in 'Forrest Gump' to real-life Ray Charles and Stephen Hawking, who each live with one or more physical disabilities; which one is your favorite?

Donate, learn more about muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular diseases, or get involved by visiting www.mda.org. This poll is dedicated to my mother, who lived with, and died from, muscular dystrophy.
