ACTION FOR A-T MISSION

To fund medical research to speed up the process of identifying a cure for Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) or treatments that delay or prevent the disabling effects of this devastating childhood condition.

YOUR SUPPORT IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Action for A-T funds high quality peer reviewed medical research to speed up the process of identifying a cure for Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T). For more information on the condition, visit our About A-T page.

Since 2012 we have invested more than £3,100,000 in 40 A-T related research projects around the world which offer hope to the families living with this devastating condition. This has only been possible thanks to your generous support for which we are truly grateful.

ATAXIA TELANGIECTASIA

Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T) is a very complex condition that affects a variety of different systems in the body. Research into A-T can also give insights into common conditions like cancer, compromised immune system, lung conditions and health generally.

For many people living with a rare condition such as A-T, sustainable, high quality medical research offers hope for the future. Hope that there will be something that will change the difficulties they face in every day life. Hope that the prognosis may be improved, and hope that increased interest in A-T will lead to greater understanding of not only this disease but others too.
