Dear Friends and Family,

This September, I will be participating in my very first half marathon - the Great North Run! I am running to raise funds for Ataxia UK, an incredible charity dedicated to helping those affected by Ataxia.

Ataxia is a rare and relatively unknown disease. It affects 10,500 people in the UK and is a degenerative neurological condition affecting balance, speech, and coordination. It disrupts someone’s ability to control their body, to communicate & to have agency over their lives. Unfortunately, at this moment, there is no cure. By supporting Ataxia UK, we can contribute to vital research and support for those with this challenging condition.

If you can donate, every contribution, regardless of size, makes a difference.

Thank you for your support,

Lucy
