Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

We are raising money for Ataxia UK, this is a charity that is very close to our familes and friends hearts.

My mum was diagnosed with Ataxia, currently there is no cure.

Our mum very sadly lost her battle to this terrible disease and passed away on 6th November 2013.

PLEASE HELP US TO RAISE AS MUCH MONEY AS POSSIBLE TO BEAT THIS TERRIBLE DISEASE.

With your help, hopefully they can find a cure in the future.

Ataxia UK is a national charity supporting children and adults who have a devastating condition known as ataxia. 

This is a progressively disabling condition of the central nervous system and sufferers almost inevitably become wheelchair bound and dependent upon others for their everyday needs. 

Where your money goes

£20 could buy vital lab equipment such as a box of sterile pipettes

£100 means a researcher can reimburse travel to a participant in an ataxia study

£500 can send our scientists to share their findings at a research conference

£1,200 funds a junior researcher for a month’s work in the lab

£5,000 pays for one year’s supply of consumables such as protein measuring kit.

£10,000 keeps an experienced post-doctoral researcher on the job for three months

About the charity

Ataxia UK

Verified by JustGiving

RCN 1102391
Ataxia is a type of neurological condition that affects balance, speech, and co-ordination. Ataxia is progressive, meaning it gets worse with time, until people become entirely dependent on others for all their needs. Over 10,000 people in the UK have ataxia and there is currently no cure. Ataxia UK is the national charity for people affected by ataxia. We provide unique services and support, including a dedicated helpline and advocacy service; events and conferences where people can meet and share information; a quarterly magazine; a website with lots of information and a discussion forum; publications, films, and reports. As well as our specialist services, in the last five years we have spent over £3 million on research into possible treatments and cures for ataxia. Our vision is a world without ataxia and, with the help of our brilliant supporters, we are working towards this every day.
