I used to be a caregiver a lady that had FA. She and her older brother have it but she started to show symptoms sooner than he. Wishing him the best ❤️❤️
I hope the new treatment is available for Dillan and anyone in NZ with FA. My nephew was recently diagnosed just on his 18th birthday. He is waiting for final approval to start the treatment. The thing that has struck me most in all my research into FA, the thing that most stands out is all the positive attitudes and great family support. ❤ Much love and prayers to you and your family.
Friedrich's Ataxia is a very terrible condition that is progressive. One watches a love one deteriorate and there is nothing that can be done because it has no cure. Dillon is a fine young man who is active. I am happy for him and I wish him well.
This video hollowed out my heart because I have ataxia that developed from Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis and it has been very hard every single day…but you have to keep going because life doesn’t stop. This video captures some of that and I thank him (and everyone involved) for sharing.
What an amazing young man, he has the best personality and outlook on life . They make an adorable couple ! His family is so amazing as well! Truly an inspiration !! ❤️❤️❤️
Having a disability myself, throughout my life, I've known at least 6 people with this disease. All were/are French Acadian and all from Northern New Brunswick, Canada.

Dillon, you are such an amazing person!
A huge hug from Brazil.
Brave soul good for him living his life to the fullest
Dillon please keep fighting to do things for yourself as long as possible. I lost my brother to FA in 2017. He was 35 yrs old and I miss him terribly.
His special olympics joke cracked me up

Same
That makes sense, as the carrier rate for FA is higher among French Acadians than the general population.
