Help Paula attend the National Ataxia Conference

Hello, and most certainly hope you are having a wonderful day!

As person with Ataxia (a rare disease/condition) it truly goes day by day, or even some days it changes hour by hour. My name is Paula, I also go by Pauline and I am 55 years old who was diagnoised with Ataxia in 2017.

Since then I have been in many sessions of physical therapy and try to keep active.

My specific type has yet to be know, it does though affect my walking, balance, strength, and some brain function (nerves misfiring).

The sources in Milwaukee area are very limited as far support groups and even awareness to able to find a cure.

I am planning to attend a convention in Florida the end of May held by the National Ataxia Foundation; I presently attend various webinars. Though as everyone knows in person information is much more helpful.

I also want to attend the conference to network and brain-storm some ideas for the Milwaukee area post conference, As I stated earlier, resources in Wisconsin are limited (even with Neurologists specializing) Though, I have heard from others that they someone with Ataxia.

I had a couple people encourage me to start a GFM, so I am. I can no longer work, but do volunteer and assist when I can.

So I am.) I am looking to raise funds to be able to do so.

Most sincerely,

Paula (Pauline) M. Werkmeister

PS. I am also willing to give a break down for allocated funds
