In early October, Michael Gehr traveled to Philadelphia for RideAtaxia & the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Research Symposium, where he participated in filming this video with Biogen & several friends. Traveling on his own & connecting with the FA community brought challenges & rewards.

Biogen’s Facebook page states, “We joined the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) in Philly at the rideATAXIA and CHOP Research Symposium, where we came together with the community to build upon a common goal – raising Friedreich ataxia (FA) awareness and advancing research.

In addition, we were honored to showcase the future of accessible travel from our partner, Delta Flight Products, as we continue to champion the independence of people living with rare, neuromuscular diseases. Learn more about our commitment to the FA community.”
