International Ataxia Awareness Day

International Ataxia Awareness Day

"The "International Ataxia Awareness Day" is an international effort from ataxia organizations around the world to dedicate September 25th as International Ataxia Awareness Day. Each participating country, state, or individual may have a specific plan for this event. The goal of IAAD is for every individual to participate in some activity, creating awareness about ataxia. You could share something you know about ataxia with one other person who has never heard of it, educate a group of people by speaking at a school or civic group, contact the media, or raise financial support."

Not many people know about Ataxia including myself before I was diagnosed with CA.  I only recently found out about the awareness campaign and wish I could have done more but sharing this is a start.  The more people are aware of the problem the more effort can go toward ending it.  Knowledge is the foundation of support.  Thanks!
