My name is Andreas and I am a Doctor from Liverpool. I am taking a year out of my training to take part in a 6 month cycle across the length of South America. I am doing this to raise money for Ataxia UK as one of my close friends Dr Phil Mchale has Friedreich's ataxia and has had to leave clinical medicine. His worsening co-ordination has made it impossible to continue working as a medical Doctor. I am fundraising for Ataxia UK as I would like to contribute to research which may in future yield some treatments. I just wanted to share my plans with you all. Any suggestions on how to promote my challange would be much appreciated. Below are a few links with the layout of the challenge:
This is very nice of you. I have cerebeller ataxia with an auto-immune origin.I hope someone is also working on a cure. Good luck on the ride. Neta in Jerusalem, Israel.
The donate button on the just giving site is how to sponsor me and it goes to Ataxia UK. It is to go towards research as a whole funded by Ataxia UK so it will include F.A. justgiving.com/Andreas-Trid...
I hope that one day diseases like FA will be curable as like you said, watching its progressive affect on someone is horrible.
