Hi. My name is Mark. I have ARCA1 or SCAR8. I’m in Toronto.

I help raise awareness through a non-profit called Hope For Ataxia ([www.hopeforataxia.org](http://www.hopeforataxia.org))

I also host a podcast at [Season 2, Episode 2 - Bill Gasiamis - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc7PyHlqvxA&list=PLUsdnOsU4hvSqVxOQa7H0B6Z_H5OIF9AA)

I hope you’re having a good year so far. Peace.
