A Ataxia story

May 9, 2017


I found out I had spinocerebellar ataxia in 2000.  i inhereted it from my dad, I have an older brother with it. My kids said I walked like my dad.

I was a 3rd grade teaher and retired when field trips became too difficult.  I had a new principal that allowed other teachers to bully me because of my ataxia.  It was hard to retire from a job that defined me.

I also have a little Jack Russell with ataxia.  I wrote a book about him so people would understand our struggles more.  I hope someone finds a way to make our lives easier.
