Ace Adventure has donated ten White Water RaftingVouchers to Ataxia UK to be auctioned at their planned Charity Disco and Auction some time in June.
The people who purchase the vouchers will be supporting a great cause and for that support will be treated to a full days whitewater rafting on the River Findhorn near Aviemore in the Scottish Highlands with the UK's leading outdoor activity provider Ace Adventure. The River Findhorn is one of the last wild rivers in the UK and is renown for its spectacular scenery and exciting rapids.
Make sure to visit the Ataxia UK website for other events Ataxia UK are running and for the to be confirmed date for the Disco in June.
The word ataxia means ‘absence of order’. People with ataxia have problems of co-ordination. This is because parts of the nervous system that normally control co-ordination and balance are affected. Ataxia is the principal symptom of a group of rare neurological disorders called the cerebellar ataxias. Most cerebellar ataxias are progressive. Ataxia can also be a symptom of other conditions such as multiple sclerosis or cerebral palsy.
Ataxia UK will provide help to all people affected by ataxia, but focuses on the cerebellar ataxias. There are other organisations that can provide more help if ataxia is a part of multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy or other conditions.
There are many different types of cerebellar ataxia. Some are inherited. The most common of these is called Friedreich’s ataxia.
