Ride Ataxia

Ataxia is a genetic disease that can strike toddlers as young as 18 months or adults up to age 30. Over time, almost all of them end up in a wheelchair, or die. Some people who know the devastation the disease causes first hand are gathering for a bike ride this week to raise funds and awareness -- and remember people whose lives the disease took too soon.
