Karen lived with ataxia, a rare condition that gradually affects movement, balance, and speech. Watching her face these challenges with such courage and dignity was both heartbreaking and inspiring. She never let her condition define her spirit, and we want to honour her strength by helping others who are on the same journey.

In her memory, Karen’s daughters are raising money for Ataxia UK. This charity is dedicated to making life better for people with ataxia and their families. By donating, you will be contributing to research that brings us closer to treatments and cures, and to the services that provide vital care, advice, and support for those who often feel overlooked and alone.

Your kindness will not only celebrate Karen’s life but also bring hope and help to many others facing this condition. Thank you for joining us in making a difference.

About Ataxia UK

Ataxia UK is the leading charity in the UK for people affected by ataxia — a group of rare, neurological conditions that impact balance, coordination, and speech. There are currently no cures, but Ataxia UK is working tirelessly to change that.

They fund world-class research to understand the causes of ataxia and to develop effective treatments. They also provide specialist services, practical advice, and emotional support that many families cannot find elsewhere.

Every donation helps Ataxia UK move closer to a future where ataxia can be better treated — and one day cured.
