David & Leigh’s walk for Ataxia UK & Royal Surrey Hospital

Hi, We are David & Leigh and we will be doing a 40 mile charity walk to raise funds and awareness for Ataxia Uk & the Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford. The walk will start outside the Royal Surrey and end in Shoreham-by-Sea.

The Royal Surrey recently saved David’s life during his extensive battle with cancer and we feel giving back to them is the least we can do.

Edward was diagnosed with Freidrich’s Ataxia as a teenager and has battled with this horrible condition ever since.

Ataxia UK are the biggest means of support & are currently fighting the NICE decision to decline funding for the only available treatment (Skyclarys) for this condition.

The walk will take place on 13th September 2025 and we would love to have as much support as possible as we carry out this monster marathon in aid of something extremely close to our hearts.

Thank you for reading
