Ride Ataxia Around The World
Check this out. This is a snippet of an email from a friend of a friend who wanted to contribute to the awareness effort, thanks Brent:
"Right now I’m in Thailand; I’m staying in Pattaya (the world’s biggest brothel) and working in Sriracha....
There is plenty of shopping and plenty of restaurants to check out if I had the time – you should see the size of some of the lobsters and shrimp that they have here!!! The tailors are hilarious, they stand on the sidewalk and ask to shake your hand and if you do they immediately want to show you their wares, but become annoying after like the 5th one – however you can get a custom tailored suit for like $100 and they’ll do it in about 24 hours or less!"

Planning
I know I have been promising details for a while now. Well, I will keep you in suspense for a bit longer. Our team met tonight to put together the details. These dedicated few have been working very hard to arrange accomodations, plan a route, solicit donations, create promotional material and create awareness. We will have cyclist information packets in one week which should include all the information you need to plan your Ride Ataxia adventure.

Support
In the past couple of months I have been a few places with the Ride Ataxia banner and I have received emails from all over with picture attachments from Ride Ataxia supporters:
In September I made a trip to Seattle, WA to perform a wedding ceremony for two of my best friends Andy Smith and Kristine Strobin:
I became an Ordained Minister online for $19.50 and now the couple is happily married...
While I was in Seattle, it happened to be International Ataxia Awareness Day (September 25) so I had lunch with the Seattle area Support group:
The 2009 NAF Annual Membership Meeting will be held in Seattle. I cant wait to hang out with you all again!
I also hung out with a new friend, Sam. Here we are with the Space Needle in the back ground:
Friends from last year's ride have been representing for Ride Ataxia. The Henrys drove 3000 miles from Dallas to Charleston and back with Ride Ataxia signs plastered to their car. Here's Dave:
David "Spinner" Henry rode 400 miles with us last year and is training for the ride to Vegas this year:
The Bryants and the Krills show their support during a recent trip to Yosemite:
A couple of weeks ago, I attended NAF's All California Ataxia Research Meeting (ACARM). I met a lot of new friends and saw some old friends such as Dr. Susan Perlman and Dr. David Herman a dedicated researcher at Scripps University in San Diego. There were talks about research, massage therapy, physical therapy, and adaptive sports. I had a great time and took away some new knowledge.
Thank you all for contributing to the support of this cause, I encourage everyone to download their Ride Ataxia banner here and show your support, just email the picture to me at kyle@rideataxia.org.
We are making strides in the planning of Ride Ataxia II so stay tuned for details and save March 15-27, 2008 to join us for another epic journey.

Ride Ataxia Around the World
SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR RIDE ATAXIA
A few weeks ago a couple of my buddies from work (Adam Klecker and Guy Graening) climbed a peak near Yosemite. They carried with them a Ride Ataxia Banner and took pictures as they ascended the dome. This was a really cool way for two friends to show their support for Ride Ataxia.
The Dome
Adam, Half Way Up
The Dudes: Adam and Guy at the peak
Since then many of my friends, family, and co-workers have taken the opportunity to show their support. They have produced some pretty sweet pictures.
Friends and Family at Gramma Mac's 80th birthday party near Libby Montana
Family in Kellog Idaho
Me, Folsom Lake California
Brown and Caldwell, Sacramento California office
I would like to extend the opportunity to YOU. Download a copy of the Ride Ataxia Banner,take it to a sweet location (a park, a monument, in front of your house, in your easy chair, the top of a mountain), take a picture and send it to me at kyle@rideataxia.org. I'll post all the pictures here. I hope to hear from you soon!
