On July 1-8, 2017, 20 riders from the United States and 28 riders from France came together for
a 350 mile ride from Strasbourg France to Lentilly, France in rideATAXIA’s first venture overseas -
rideATAXIA Europe, Le Peloton de l’Espoir (The Peloton of Hope).
The Association Française de l’Ataxie de Friedreich (AFAF) and Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance
(FARA) will co-fund a research project with the funds raised from Peloton de l’Espoir. This will be
a one year research award aimed at funding a short, focused project that can provide substantial
proof of concept. Based on current funds raised, we estimate being able to make one research grant
award between 75-100,000 Euro.
