Story

My brother; Dominic, died last year from Ataxia at 59 and my sister; Victoria also suffers from this cruel and debilitating disease.

Too many people with ataxia struggle to receive a diagnosis. Due to its rare nature, many medical professionals are unaware of ataxia. 

Ataxia can take many forms and is a degenerative disease of the nervous system resulting from damage to the cerrebellum. 

Lisa and I are running a half marathon and are hoping to raise £1000 to support ataxia research with the goal of developing treatments and cures for Ataxia.
