THE STORY:
Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
For my 2nd NYC Marathon and 5th overall, I will be running to help those with Huntington's Disease and to find a cure!
Huntington's Disease (HD) affects tens of thousands nationally and many more world-wide. For those that do not know it, many describe HD as having ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s all at the same time. Today, there are approximately 30,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease.

All funds raised will help support HDSA's Mission of helping those affected by HD and their families.
