Never Settle: Living With Ataxia on My Own Terms

I was diagnosed with Ataxia in 2017, though the early signs began showing in my mid-40s. I’m now 54, and the last 8 months have brought a wave of progression that’s been hard to face. My balance is poor, I walk with a stick or rollator, and my speech is now very slurred—which makes talking not only difficult, but exhausting.

When I was first diagnosed, I was told I wouldn’t work again and would soon be in a wheelchair. That kind of news can feel like a full stop. But I never saw it that way. I still walk. I still train when I can. I still try—because I don’t believe in accepting second best until there’s truly no more try left in me.

I learned that mindset as a kid racing BMX bikes in Zimbabwe. My hero back then was a fellow rider named Brendon Sterling—fearless, fast, always pushing harder. Watching him shaped something in me that I’ve never let go of.

Today, I can’t ride bikes anymore. But I’ve got a recumbent trike with an electric motor that gives me back a little bit of the freedom and joy I used to feel on two wheels.

What keeps me going? My amazing support network. My fiancée Anthea, who shows up every day with love and patience. And our lurcher Molly, who reminds me with every tail wag that life is still good, even when it’s hard.

Ataxia is relentless. But so am I.

“Whatever life throws at you, never accept anything until you can’t try anymore. If you accept second best in life, you’ll always struggle to succeed.”

To anyone living with Ataxia—or anything that tries to slow you down—keep moving. Keep trying. We may stumble. We may speak slower. But we are still here. And we are not done.
