Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

Alicia has the most beautiful personality you’d ever meet. Alicia is a very kind and loving person that is always thinking about others. Alicia was diagnosed with Ataxia at the age of 2 and she will be 17 in May 2021. Alicia is loved so much by all her family that she is known as our “precious", all of us, as a family are praying for her and trying our hardest to raise as much money as we possibly can so that some how in the future we can find a cure for Ataxia.

Alicia has a personality that is so addictive, she is a constant tonic to be around. She gives her all to everything she does and does absolutely nothing by halves. Alicia shows her love for those around her and continues to embrace their love for her. Alicia is such a loyal family member and everyone loves her individually. 

Alicia wants to go into acting and is currently studying performing arts at theatre school. Alicia will go far if she continues at the rate she’s going because her passion and drive in life is everything she needs to further herself in this career. 

We have fundraising events going on here, there and everywhere Including BBQ’s & cake afternoons.

A pamper evening where all the family and friends come and show their support by having face masks and pedicures. 

We also raise money by holding summer fetes. we have a BBQ, bouncy castle, tombola, raffle, face painting, cake and many more stalls. These items are donated by family, friends and local people that continue to support us.

Ongoing we have collection tins at Loughborough University within the shops and cafes, the staff, students and customers kindly give small change constantly.

All the above events are being hold on a yearly basis - with hopefully more ideas along the way.

We have currently been a little quiet with not getting to do much during the coronavirus and the social distancing issues we’re all experiencing, but we will continue to try our best to keep up the fundraising in the coming months and years ahead.

'Ataxia' means ‘absence of order’. People with ataxia have problems of co-ordination. This is because parts of the nervous system that normally control co-ordination and balance are affected.

Ataxia UK aims to support all people affected by ataxia; people with the condition, their families, carers and friends. The charity funds research into developing safe, effective treatments with the ultimate goal of finding a cure for the ataxias. In the meantime Ataxia UK helps people to live with ataxia by providing a range of services that are not available anywhere else, including an advocacy service..
