Help FA in SA ( Help Friedreich Ataxia in South Australia) is delighted
to announce, AMP Foundation will once again be supporting the FA Charity
Dinner 2010.

"This means so much to us" said Laurel Hosking ( founder of Help FA in
SA). " This means we can truly make a difference in the dollars we can
give to research.... each cent gets us closer to a cure"

Friedreich Ataxia is a genetic neuro-degenerative condition that affects
about 1:30,000 people. This disease gradually robs the sufferer of
control of their legs, arms, hands, speech, swallowing, strength, and
heart function. 1 in 90 carry this devastating gene and do not know
it. Laurel and Wes Hosking, found out the hard way, they were carriers,
when their son Billy was diagnosed at age 9... Following his diagnosis,
Laurel, with the support of Wes and their four young children, started
Help FA in SA.

"I wanted to raise awareness of FA in South Australia, I hope to
connect as many FAers in South Australia as possible, and give them
information on clinics, and drug trials and research, but above all I
hope to eventually educate doctors enough that other parents do not have
to spend years searching for a diagnosis!"

All money raised goes to the Primary research body in Australia- The
Friedreich Ataxia Research Association ( Australasia) ..FARA(A).

100% of money raised goes into research and actually helps finds a cure.

The Charity Dinner will be held on Saturday 14th August 2010, at the
