ABOUT |
Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is a debilitating neuromuscular disease. Over a short period of time, FA affects muscle coordination and eventually leads to a life altering loss of mobility, energy, speech and hearing ... robbing children and young adults of the ability to live an active life. FA also presents serious risk of diabetes and life shortening cardiac disease. The Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) serves as a catalyst in public, private, scientific and patient-family communities, building worldwide support to drive medical research advances for Friedreich's ataxia. Funding is vital in this treatment era, as FARA stewards potential therapies through the final stages of research and into the hands of those affected by the disease, thereby providing hope for families and individuals affected by this debilitating disease. |
