Tampa Bay Ataxia Support Group

WHY A SUPPORT GROUP

Support groups remind us no one walks alone. Each individual experences ataxia in a different way, yet together we have many more commonalities than differences. Sharing those common experences is often helpful for our memebers. We welcome each other ,and most importantly , we know that we are not alone.

WE scheme about the future
And dream about the past.
When just a simple reaching out
Might build a bridge that lasts.
- John Hiatt

How many of you out there have ever heard of Ataxia ? Do not
feel bad about not knowing about this disorder. An estimated
150,000 people in the United States are affected by hereditary
and sporadic ataxias, a group of neurological disorders which
are chronic and progressive conditions affecting coordination.
They strike without regard to age, gender, or race.

Are you an ataxian (or a friend or family member of someone
with ataxia) who desires validation, personal support, and
information? Do you live in or near the Tampa Bay area of Florida
and wish to meet people experiencing the same things you are?
If so, you've come to the right place. Follow the links to have a look
around the site and learn more about us. Then, please join us in our
next meeting. We're here for you!
