David (Spinner) Henry's Ride Ataxia III fundraising page

Thank you!

Dear Ride Ataxia Supporter, Due to your contribution and those of many others, Ride Ataxia 3 was a huge success raising $250,000 for Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) research. This money will be combined with contributions from the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) and the National Ataxia Foundation (NAF), and the combined total will fund 3 research awards for $120,000 each. The recipients of these awards will be announced in the Fall. To hear more about our journey and the research funds please click to view this MESSAGE TO OUR SUPPORTERS. ( www.rideataxia.org/RA3/thankyou ) In 2009, Ride Ataxia introduced the Ataxian Athlete Initiative (AAI). This program brings cycling to fellow Ataxians by funding the purchase of a new trike. This year Ride Ataxia received 6 applications from aspiring Ataxian athletes. Unfortunately, our resources only allowed us to select one trike recipient. Our panel found the decision very difficult but we are confident that our selection, Nadia Robertson, fulfills the spirit of the AAI with the willingness to stay active and encourage fellow Ataxians to do the same. To find out more about Nadia and the AAI please click HERE. Thank you for your support. The future is bright for Ride Ataxia. We are proud to be a part of the journey toward a cure for FA. With organizations like FARA and NAF leading the way, we will get there together. With programs like the AAI, we will encourage health and confidence through activity. Such goals are reached with the support of generous donors like you. Thank you,
