What I want to say is that, everyday you wake up you should move forward. Don't allow negative thoughts to cloud your vision. Despite Ataxia, you have the ability to make plans and enjoy life.

It sounds brutal but I said to a good friend once, to give him an idea of my perspective. I know that one day I am going to be in a  wheelchair. He didn't know what turns of fate his life may contain.

In this website, I have tried my best to help the reader, whether they have Ataxia or not, to have benefit of my outlook, experiences and advice. I think I have been very fortunate, despite my diagnosis, and I know that there are those of you who, not only have Ataxia, but other problems  as well.

What I have set out to do is to help those of you living with Ataxia, in the knowledge that your not alone. I have first hand experience of CA diagnosis,  a messy divorce, court action, redundancy and, at a young age, the loss of my mother through Ataxia. I wake up with a smile on my face because I have moved on.
