So far, we have raised $2325 in contributions for NAF! Good job everyone!
We are hoping to raise more funds on the day of the walk from donations and the raffle. Some of the prizes in the raffle so far are Adobe Photoshop software, an Electronic Arts game package, a Macy's gift certificate, and a gift certificate for the Nail Shop. More to come...

What is Ataxia?
Ataxia consists of problems with coordination because parts of the nervous system that control movement and balance are affected. Ataxia may affect the fingers, hands, arms, legs, body, speech, and eye movements. There are many types of ataxias. It can be hereditary or sporadic. Ataxia can also be a symptom of head injury, stroke, MS, alcoholism, etc. For more about ataxia, click here for NAF's website
My mother has Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). This is a hereditary degenerative disease, which means that I am also at risk.
My primary goal for this event (click here for flyer) is to raise awareness about ataxia. Hopefully, the walk will also generate money for more research about ataxia. Last, but not least, the goal is to HAVE FUN!

Please update the prizes and the amount collected. I'm sure that something has changed in the last two weeks.
