Dana's Fundraising Page

I'm raising money for the National Ataxia Foundation

My name is Dana Mauro. I’m participating in the extreme hike across the Grand Canyon to raise money for Ataxia research. This cause is deeply personal for me. My husband was diagnosed with Ataxia in 2006, a condition that affects his coordination and balance, making everyday activities challenging. Additionally, I have several friends who have lost their battle with Ataxia. The funds raised during this hike will go towards Ataxia research, which will ultimately bring us closer to effective treatments and hopefully a cure.

 Please consider supporting my efforts and contributing to this vital cause. Your donation can make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by Ataxia. 

If you'd like to follow my journey week to week leading up to hike day consider going to my blog https://8thwonder.blog/.   Be sure to subscribe to get notified each time I make a post.
