Anne Ford Cup & Ernie Heath Shield
Since 1992 we have awarded the Anne Ford Cup to 29 exceptional people with ataxia who have made a special contribution to the ataxia community. In 2007 we introduced the Shield in memory of Ernie Heath the founding Chairman of the newly constituted Ataxia UK, and have honoured a further 17 outstanding individuals all of whom (except one) do not have ataxia. But both the Cup and Shield are now full of names.
