On Sunday 27 September 2020 I am taking part in the first ever Ataxia Classic cycle to raise crucial funds for research into treatments and a cure, and to provide support for those affected by ataxia.

Ataxia is the name given to a group of conditions that affects the cerebellum: the part of the brain that controls movement and sends signals through the nervous system, which causes problems with balance, co-ordination and speech, disrupting your ability to communicate and control your body.

My Dad has a form of adult-onset ataxia, his younger brother and older sister, who both sadly passed away in the last 12 months, also had ataxia. I would like to raise funds for the charity, who support those affected by ataxia.
