The central role of each Task Force is to evaluate the distribution of the foundations funds among applications for research grants, to ensure the best possible outcome and use of our funds.

Statement from the Chairman of
the Ataxia Foundation Scandinavia
Dear members, associates, and supporters,
On behalf of the foundation, I would like to extend my greatest gratitude for your help and effort to help us spread awareness of ataxia. With your contributions and help, we can continuously take greater leaps to aid in the research of alternative treatments, to aid in the development of supportive care and to spread awareness of the disorder and expand upon existing research.
In this last quarter of 2023, our great team of associates together with our collaborative partners will continue to develop our platform. During this quarter, our website will undergo a lot of construction and changes and we ask our visitors to remain patient. There will be learning resources for anyone interested in broadening their knowledge of the different forms of ataxia that are known and to have access to up-to-date information. We invite any medical or research professional who would like to contribute to our project. Furthermore, we invite any current researcher or medical professional who would like for us to share existing results, trial recruitment ads, on-going trials, and published results. Please get in touch with us at info@ataxiafoundation.org if you think you can contribute in any way. We also invite anyone who wishes to contribute to the development of our foundation in other ways to get in touch with us. Everyone can do something and we take no help for granted.
We would also like to extend an invitation to anyone who is living with the diagnosis of ataxia, or close relatives that wish to share their journey and recollections to publish on our blog. There are many family members who seek familiarity, and this can be invaluable to many.
We hope you can support the foundation and make a difference to those living with ataxia,
Dr. Arsho Rad
Chairman of the Ataxia Foundation
