The condition doesn’t discriminate. It can affect anyone, of any age. Some forms of ataxia are treatable, but in most cases there is still no cure.

International Ataxia Awareness Day (IAAD) is our opportunity, as the ataxia community, to change this! To tell the world who we are, what ataxia is and why understanding the condition is so important. It’s a chance to make a big difference!

Through increased awareness, better understanding of the condition filters down through GP’s and therapists, to the average person on the street. If people are aware of a condition, this means more money is likely to be invested into finding a cure. Equally better understanding will mean less instances of misunderstanding for the lives of those affected by the condition.
