The Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) is proud to partner with the UC Davis Health System and Outback Steakhouse for 2 days of personal triumph, physical achievement and family fun. Founded by Kyle Bryant, the Ride Ataxia team has traveled 3300 miles in three years raising invaluable awareness for Friedreich’s Ataxia (FA) and research funds approaching the $1 million level.

Ride Ataxia NorCal will travel 100 miles through the scenic foothills of Northern California from Folsom, CA to Grass Valley, CA and back on May 15 and 16, 2010. The ride will also include 10 and 25 mile route options, inviting all levels of riders. Ride Ataxia NorCal benefits the Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA). FARA is a non-profit organization dedicated to research and a cure for FA. Friedreich’s ataxia is a debilitating, life-shortening, degenerative neuro-muscular disorder.
