The Jerry Farr Travel Fellowship

20 January 2012

The deadline for applications to this year’s Jerry Farr fund is 23 April. This is a chance for someone with ataxia to win the trip of a lifetime. Last year’s winner, Geraint Williams (left), will be taking his young famJerry Farr pictured on holiday with a man in native tribal dressily on a tour of the US this summer. And in 2010 Toyah Wordsworth went on an amazing trip to India and New Zealand.

Win up to £6,500
This year it could be you! If you have an idea for a dream trip you would like to take, and you have ataxia, apply now for the opportunity to travel the world. You could win up to £3,500 for yourself, or up £6,500 if you’ll be accompanied by a carer.


The Fellowship has been generously funded by the friends and family of Jerry Farr, pictured above left. Jerry had Friedreich’s ataxia and passed away in 2007, but lived a very full life and enjoyed travelling all over the world.

Full details on how to apply are in the form available for download here or by contacting the office on 020 7582 1444.
