Learning from Philadelphia: What We Can Do As The Patient
Ride Ataxia Philly on Sunday, October 12th and the 7th Annual Friedreich’s Ataxia Symposium hosted by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) the following day on Monday, October 14, 2014 was a positive and inspirational time for the FA Community. As the cyclists anxiously lined up to ride 5, 10, 25 or 50 miles on a beautiful Sunday morning, all were encouraged with the knowledge that every pedal made is a step closer to a cure. Ride Ataxia Philly hosted its 6th annual event this year in Blue Bell, PA with great sponsors such as Bonefish Grill, Carrabba’s Italian Grill and Outback Steakhouse. There were 475 riders and $215,000 was raised for awareness and FA research!
