International Ataxia Awareness Day (IAAD)
The "International Ataxia Awareness Day" is an international effort from ataxia organizations around the world to dedicate September 25 as International Ataxia Awareness Day. Each participating country, state, or individual may have a specific plan for this event.
Creating Ataxia Awareness
The goal of IAAD is for every individual to participate in some activity, creating awareness about ataxia. You could share something you know about ataxia with one other person who has never heard of it, educate a group of people by speaking at a school or civic group, contact the media, or raise financial support. International Ataxia Awareness Day has grown over the years, and more ideas keep coming in. You can download the IAAD kit (link) which contains some ideas for involvement.
Get Involved
We welcome you to share your experiences and ask you to submit your tried and true activities so that we may include them in future guides, giving inspiration and direction to others as they get involved in IAAD.
