I'm thrilled to participate in this Rim to Rim hike of the Grand Canyon!  The purpose of the hike is to generate awareness and funds in support of the National Ataxia Foundation.  This hike will be difficult, but I'm inspired; because every day is difficult for my brother Doug who suffers from numerous ataxia-related symptoms.

Over the years, Doug and I have done a lot to help improve his outcomes.  Doug maintains an active fitness program and we both participate in advocacy calls with Congress and the FDA.  Further, we both participate in clinical studies aimed at accelerating a treatment for this terrible disease.  This Rim to Rim fundraiser is the next step in our continued efforts, and we hope you join us!

Every donation - big or small - helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly impacts this important cause.

Thank you for standing by Doug and I in this effort. Your support means the world to us!
