NAF has launched a petition on Change.org calling on the FDA to prioritize treatment options for rare diseases with urgent unmet needs, including Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA).
SIGN THE PETITION
We’re honored to have worked with Bill Nye the Science Guy to launch the largest Ataxia awareness campaign to-date!
In the series of videos, Bill Nye opens up about his personal connection to Ataxia. He lost his father to Ataxia and has many family members who are affected, including his sister and brother. He teaches people about Ataxia in his classic “science guy” style with simple information and light humor.
Check out all his videos at www.ataxia.org/BillNye.
