Scarlett's fundraiser for Ataxia UK
Scarlett Parr-Reid is raising money for Ataxia UK
Team: Emily and Scarlett's Coventry Half Marathon to raise money for Ataxia UK
Story
Ataxia is a devastating rare neurological disease, making activities such as walking, talking, seeing, hearing and everyday tasks we take for granted a challenge.
But, there is so much you can do to help those with ataxia to live better quality lives. That's why my friend Emily and I are raising money for Ataxia UK's services and research.
£150 can run the charity's helpline for a day, providing advocacy and welfare information to those who need it. Sharing this fundraiser or giving as little or as much as you can could make the world of difference to the life of someone living with ataxia. Ceri, who lives with ataxia, had this to say about the support Ataxia UK offers:
Since [my daughter] Jade was diagnosed with ataxia when she was 3 years old, Ataxia UK has been our lifeline. Nothing is too much trouble for Ataxia UK. They have held our hands and supported us throughout our journey with this condition.
