When were you diagnosed with Ataxia? How and how has it changed your life?
I was officially diagnosed by my neurologist in 2015; but my family, friends, and I noticed a severe change affecting me when I hit puberty age (14-15). It has not affected my day to day life that much, I still go to work everyday, granted I take everything alot slower when i move (I also got a Rollator walker to help me with my mobility). But don't get me wrong, I do not let my disability stop me. My family and I accompanied some friends to a trip to visit Yellowstone, Badlands, and Grand Tetons last year.

Why did you become involved with the National Ataxia Foundation, Northeast Ohio area support group? Why and how are you helping with the NEO Walk n’ Roll to Cure Ataxia?
I got involved after my doctor diagnosed me with Ataxia. My family and I thought it would be a good idea to meet other people with the same dissability as me. It would also be a good way to socialize and make friends. I am helping out with the Walk and Roll because it would raise awareness to Ataxia, a serious dissability that doesn't get as much awareness.
