Randy and I are very familiar with Hereditary Ataxia. We have lost my mother from the progression of the disease and now my youngest brother is struggling with its devastating effects. You all know how important family is and when there’s a need we are there for each other. We can’t swap places but we can make the effort to find a cure. That’s why Randy and I are taking on this challenge. It’s not going to be easy but neither is Ataxia. Those affected are robbed of their ability to walk but we can, and for them we will! Thank you in advance for your support.
