Dear BBC Controllers,

We are all loyal fans of the BBC's disability website, Ouch! We have recently heard reports that Ouch! is included in a long list of sites marked for possible closure by the BBC.

Ouch! has been a great source of useful and interesting information for many disabled people and their families and friends for several years. It has also been a source of enjoyment for its users.

Ouch! is a place where many users have developed lasting friendships with others who truly understand their situations.

We wish to act now to show our support for the website's future. This is our polite request to you to remove Ouch! from the list of sites identified for closure.
