Support and information sharing for people in a parental role with advanced-progression ataxians. Criteria to qualify for this group are: a serious heart condition, or advanced physical/functional impairment. All Email communication is confidential unless released by the Email originator. Because this list is a supplemental subgroup of FAPG, A-APG members are strongly encouraged to also be members of FAPG. ( See http://www.fortnet.org/fapg/ ) This list is for advanced-progression conversation the member considers to be too emotionally troubling for FAPG. Email Paul K. at A-APG-owner@yahoogroups.com for more information.
