For FARA NZ

FARA NZ

Imagine being a kid or a teenager and being told you have a degenerative muscle disease which will lead to a loss of muscle co-ordination, fatigue, vision impairment, hearing loss, slurred speech and then a serious heart condition - this is Friedreich Ataxia. 1 in every 30,000 affected. 1 in 90 are carriers. FARA NZ exists to improve the quality of life for people diagnosed with FA, by supporting them and their families and to assist the funding of scientific research to treat this rare neurological degenerative condition.

It's May! And that means we are asking you to flex for FA.

Lend Us Some Muscle is a personal or team challenge with the choice of a ride, walk, run, cycle, swim, surf or anything that gets the heart pumping and the muscles moving. Set up a fundraising page (easy as) and share the innovative ways you are exercising and flexing your muscles by posting your workouts and physical challenges to social media. No matter what your level of fitness or ability, set yourself a goal, keep your body moving and your muscles flexing.

Let's show support to people living with FA around the world. 💪
