The benefit for Nick was not only to help Nick’s condition with Ataxia, it was also meant to bring awareness to a disease that very few are aware of and hope to others who suffer and struggle daily with the disease.
Because of our Families, Friendships, Co-workers, Local Businesses and the Community, Nick is on his way to China and for treatments.

Tuesday – February 26th
We have not been sleeping good, Nick is up most of the night on and off. I am sure it is all nerves.
Nick’s morning started with rehabilatiion, which consisted of another physical ability test. From there he was off into acupunture. After he completed the acuputure, we were traveling down to have his MRI done. One thing we can say, they do not mess around with tests. Everything is done quickly and effeciently, we do not have to wait – they are waiting on us to arrive. After the MRI we returned to our room. This gave Nick some down time, which he was able to doze off for another hour.
In the afternoon, we went back to down for the second part of his rehabilation. This time it consisted of strecthing, and use of his legs. He also got to toss a ball back and forth with is therapist. Nick was very shakey and experienced several tremors.
Everyone here at the hospital has been very kind and helpful. The language barrier is difficult and we are trying to hard to understand.
Well, as far as food goes
