Too many people with ataxia struggle to receive a diagnosis. Many medical professionals are unaware of ataxia, so this IAAD we are walking together to our GP surgeries to deliver specialist Guidelines to support them and raise awareness and funds.
Story
No one should go undiagnosed. I am making my steps count this International Ataxia Awareness Day (IAAD) and am helping to end slow ataxia diagnosis by walking a copy of the Ataxia UK medical guidelines to my GP surgery this September.

Too many people with ataxia struggle to receive a diagnosis. Many medical professionals are unaware of ataxia, so this IAAD we are walking together to our GP surgeries to deliver specialist Guidelines to support them and raise awareness and funds.
10,500 people in the UK have ataxia which is a progressive neurological condition that disrupts the messages sent from our brains to our muscles that are used to move, speak, listen and see.
Ataxia UK funds research into finding treatments and a cure and provide support until they are found.
