RideATAXIA is back for its second year on Sept. 14 from 8 a.m.-1:30 p.m. on the Gateway Trail(between Maplewood and Grant). The starting point will be at Wakefield Park in Maplewood.

There is a $15 fee for the cycling event, which includes a T-shirt. Funds raised through the event will go toward Friedreich’s Ataxia Research Alliance.

Friedrich’s Ataxia is a progressive neuromuscular disease that can lead to life-altering loss of mobility.
