About this event

A Dinner & Live Auction Benefitting Friedreich’s Ataxia Research.

Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA) is a progressive, debilitating disease that affects brain and muscle tissue. FA is a genetic disorder that affects coordination and balance and eventually leads to a life altering loss of mobility, speech, hearing, and eyesight function; decreasing the ability of children and adults to live an active life.

There is currently no effective treatment or cure.

But, there is promising research. FARA, in just ten years, has helped fund the development of the most promising discoveries to slow, stop and reverse the ravages of this disease. Research into FA can also benefit those suffering from ALS, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s.

We feel a cure is within reach but we need your help! Please follow us on Facebook: facebook.com/CureUsPDX
