Episode 22: Kristy Taylor - Ataxia
Ataxia is a group of disorders that affect the muscles, impacting co-ordination, balance and speech. Kristy saw it affect her family before being diagnosed herself. It was hard for her to accept the diagnosis and she explains that she withdrew from society for many years, until she finally thought to herself: "no surrender". She talks about what she does now to raise awareness about ataxia and to support others who may go through a similar journey to hers.
The song Kristy chose is Defiant by VNV Nation.
