Join the International
Ataxia Awareness Day
Celebration!
September 25th, 2012
The goal of IAAD is for every individual to participate in some activity, creating awareness about ataxia. You could share something you know about ataxia with one other person who has never heard of ataxia, educate a group of people by speaking at a school or civic group, contact your local media with your story, have a local elected official declare September 25th IAAD in your town, wear your IAAD t-shirt, participate and/or support an IAAD event near you! International Ataxia Awareness Day has grown over the years, and more ideas keep coming in. You can download the 2012 IAAD kit which contains information on how to get involved. Thank you for your support and ataxia awareness efforts!

We welcome you to share your experiences and ask you to submit for NAF's newsletter "Generations" an article on how you celebrated IAAD. Your story gives inspiration and direction to others to get involved in IAAD activities. You can submit your experience to naf@ataxia.org.

Hi Jc,
Awareness is the greatest key to the term Ataxia. I wasted one and a halfyears not knowing the problem and it was a bolt from the blue when I knew the meaning of Ataxia. Once I go back to India i will try to Have a small support group.
