Fundraising for Ataxia UK
Story
2015 will see myself my Dad and best friend Lewis take part in 6 obstacle races and 1 huge ultra challenge. We will be taking on X Runner, Back 2 the Trenches x 2, Tough Mudder, London 2 Cambridge 100KM challenge, Nuclear Races Obstacle Race. We will be training along the way and have the support of all our family and friends and also Etch Rock a challenge based website who are supporting us with training and social media coverage. http://www.etchrock.com. Follow and support us on the great journey for a great charity.
We are doing this in order to raise awareness and money for Ataxia UK. Ataxia which means 'lack of order' is a neurological condition that causes problems with balance, co-ordination and speech. There are many different types of Ataxia, with different causes and symptoms. Ataxia is progressive which means it gets worse over time. Over 10,000 people have Ataxia in the UK and there is currently no cure. I want to raise money for Ataxia because I have seen my uncle deteriorate over the last 15 years and I have seen my aunty and family look after him. This a great charity and they do nothing but support and help people who suffer from Ataxia. Please please donate and stay tuned to see progress of the races and all the training that will be going into preparing for them.
