Last year, as The Shiners, our positive energy beamed on the quest to find a cure for Huntington's Disease (HD). This year, as the Foreman Fighters, we are going to do everything we can to help knock out HD!
For those who are unaware, Huntington's Disease is an inherited, progressively degenerative brain disorder that affects a person's ability to think, speak and walk. Symptoms include depression, impaired judgment, unsteady gait, involuntary movements, slurred speech, and difficulty swallowing.
Each child of a parent with HD has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the gene, and every person who inherits the gene will eventually develop the disease. As many of you are aware, Kim, Sebastian, and Christian recently tested positive for this gene.
So, let's triple the size of our team this year and spread the word about HD! Join me on October 3rd at 10:00 a.m. to walk around beautiful Capital Lake in Olympia. Coming together brings comfort, support and love to the lives of those who are affected by HD.
If you can't make it and want to contribute, please make a check payable to HDSA and mail the check to us at 16240 Ordway Dr. Se, Yelm, WA 98597 or contribute right here on our fundraising page. It's easy and totally secure.
Suggested registration fees are $20 and $10 for kids.
Together we can help find a cure!
Thank you team! Your help means more to us than anything!
~The Foreman Family
