I WILL BE RUNNING THE ROCK 'N' ROLL MARATHON JUNE 3,2007 TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR HD RESEARCH. YES I AM RUNNING A MARATHON. SOUNDS CRAZY BUT I'LL DO WHATEVER I CAN TO HELP RAISE MONEY FOR HD. HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE OR HD, IS A FATAL HEREDITARY DISEASE THAT DESTROYS YOUR BRAIN.  HD CAUSES A PERSONS BRAIN TO DEGENERATE.  CAUSING UNCONTROLLED MOVEMENTS, LOSS OF A PERSONS INTELLECT, AND EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE. A PERSON USUALLY STARTS TO SHOW SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS AT MID-LIFE (30-40'S), DISTURBING THEIR LIFE DRAMATICALLY. AS THIS DISEASE PROGRESSES A PERSON IS NO LONGER ABLE TO CARE FOR THEIRSELF AND HAS TO RELIE COMPLETELY ON OTHERS. HD COMPLETELY TAKES OVER A PERSONS MIND AND BODY. IT IS A HORRIBLE DISEASE. TO THIS DATE THERE IS NO CURE OR EFFECTIVE TREATMENT FOR HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE. SINCE THIS DISEASE IS GENETIC EACH CHILD WITH AN EFFECTED PARENT HAS A 50 % CHANCE OF INHERITTING HD.  AS THE POPULATION GROWS MORE AND MORE ARE AT RISK FOR HD. SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT WE FIND A CURE. PLEASE DONATE TO HD RESEARCH. A CURE WOULD CHANGE SO MANY PEOPLE LIVES!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT !!!!
