Ataxia-Telangiectasia (“A-T”) is a rare, neurodegenerative and progressive condition which starts in early childhood causing severe disability and premature death. It affects many parts of the body robbing the child of his/her independence. A wheelchair is needed usually by the age of ten.
 
The A-T Society's objective is to find a cure or treatment for A-T but it is also committed to supporting families affected by the condition as well as improving quality and length of life through our two specialist A-T clinics.
 
In order to maintain and develop our work we rely heavily on the generosity of our supporters. The rarity of the condition means we do not enjoy widespread appeal but the needs of our children are great. This is why we need your help!
No donation is too small, after all pennies lead to pounds! Thank you.
 
If you are a parent whose child has recently been diagnosed with A-T you will find plenty of information on this website to help you.
 
It can be difficult to cope on a practical and emotional level. We can offer you advice and support so please get in touch.

Being a small society we are constantly trying to raise awareness of A-T and would be very keen to publicise more personal stories on our website. We would love to hear from those of you who have the condition, or the families of those who do. These are some of the stories we already have: Living with A-T.
