The word ‘ataxia’ comes from the Greek ‘a taxis’, which means ‘without order’.

Our mission is to bring back some of the order to the lack of order.

It is the term used for a group of neurodegenerative diseases that affect balance and coordination.

Ataxia and Me are a partner organisation of FibroFlutters with us mutually supporting the work of each other. Helping to raise awareness of Ataxia is important to improve the understanding of the disease so that people know what it is.
