The Ataxia Community Comes Together in Orlando April 9–11, 2026 for the Annual Ataxia Conference! LEARN MORE

Our Vision:

A World Without Ataxia.

Ensuring no one experiences Ataxia alone, until no one experiences Ataxia, period.

Our Mission

To accelerate the development of treatments and a cure while working to improve the lives of those living with Ataxia.

Share Your Story. Strengthen Our Voice.

Cameryn’s story is a powerful reminder of why we can’t wait for progress in Ataxia treatment development. While Ataxia affects each person differently, every voice matters in the fight for treatments and a cure. Watch her story, then share your own on social media with #KnowAtaxia to raise awareness and bring us closer—together—to a world without Ataxia.

Share your story about living with Ataxia. For Cameryn. For everyone still fighting. Every voice brings us closer to a cure!
