DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Emily Penn is on a mission. Hat strapped and sunglasses on, she’s ready for a day of training. She is cycling for a cause.
At the age of 15 she was diagnosed with Friedrich’s Ataxia. A rare debilitating and life-shortening neuro-muscular disorder.
At 20 she’s training for a bike ride to raise awareness and funds for research called Ride Ataxia.
