Have you met Kyle yet?

Many of us have blogs, so does Kyle...click here to read about his first experiences at CrossFit KoP.

What's going on in Kyle's body...He's got something called Friedreich’s Ataxia.  (FA) is a life-shortening debilitating degenerative neuromuscular disease typically affecting children and young adults. Signs and symptoms – which worsen over time – include loss of coordination (ataxia) in the arms and legs, fatigue, muscle loss, vision impairment, hearing loss, slurred speech, and heart complications. FA affects roughly one in 50,000 which equals approximately 5,000 people in the US and 15,000 people worldwide. Currently there is no treatment or cure.

The Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance's (FARA) mission is to marshal and focus the resources and relationships needed to cure FA by raising funds for research, promoting public awareness, and aligning scientists, patients, clinicians, government agencies, pharmaceutical companies and other organizations dedicated to curing FA and related diseases. Currently FARA is ushering several different drugs through the clinical trials with real promise for therapeutic treatment in the near future.curefa.org

Man, I was all inspired by Kyle, and then I got all bummed out by the Kid Rock quote. I think I got Hep C just reading it.

Unless Kyle chose the quote, then I'm just a dick.
