Description

My name is Joel Houghton and I live in beautiful Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada. During the month of July I will be riding as much as I can to find a cure for Friedreich's Ataxia -- a rare, debilitating, and life shortening neuromuscular disease. There is a lot of exciting research taking place, but a cure still remains elusive.

I was diagnosed with Friedreich's Ataxia several years ago, and part of my journey with this disability has involved transitioning from a regular bicycle to a recumbent trike. I've always been an avid cyclist, but I'm out more than ever now on my Catrike 559! Needless to say, I'm very excited for this opportunity to participate in rideATAXIA again this year!

Because of COVID-19 things will look a little different. We can't travel to Chicago. Instead, I'll be biking locally to raise awareness and money for the important research taking place. Thank you for considering joining our team. Together, we can beat FA!
