The SCA6 Network is an advocacy group founded and led by individuals who have been impacted by a SCA6 diagnosis or have an interest in supporting this work. The group provides informational resources for patients and families, and works together to raise funds for Dr. Christopher Gomez's SCA6 research at the University of Chicago Medicine. 

Please join us in our mission to support Dr. Christopher Gomez's research to improve treatment for people with SCA6. Gifts of any size will help us reach our fundraising goal, donations in support of Dr. Gomez's research are tax deductable and your support means a lot. To make a donation, please click on the red "donate now" button on the right. 100% of your donation made on this page goes directly to Dr. Gomez and his research.
