Event Description
\nRide Ataxia Dallas features 10, 25, & 50 mile course options along scenic country roads followed by a post ride lunch from Outback Steakhouse.<\/p>\n

Event Beneficiary
\nRide Ataxia Dallas benefits the Friedreich\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA).<\/p>\n

Event Background
\nAt 17 Kyle Bryant was diagnosed with Friedreich\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Ataxia, a rare, life shortening disease that affects muscle control and coordination. As a young athlete this meant losing many of the activities he enjoyed but the one activity he would not give up was cycling. In 2007, riding his recumbent tricycle, Kyle created Ride Ataxia with a 60-day, 2,500 mile bicycle ride from San Diego, CA to Memphis, TN<\/p>\n

Event History
\nThe goal of this ride was to educate the public, enable research through funding, and empower others through inspiration and motivation. Over 3,500 miles and $960,000 in research funds later, the spirit of Ride Ataxia is stronger than ever and is now the marquis fundraising event for the Friedreich\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Ataxia Research Alliance. Today Ride Ataxia offers both challenging and family-friendly rides all across the country.<\/p>\n
