Team Hope Walk Portland

Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. My father was diagnosed with Huntington's disease in 1985 and battled bravely until 2009.  I was diagnosed in Feb. 2009 and stopped working as a PT, a career I loved.  I stopped driving in Sept. 2010.  My HD symptoms include balance and coordination problems, frequent falls, short term memory problems  HD is a progressive degenerative movement disorder.  There currently is no treatment or cure for HD.  So my family and I are committed to pray for a cure.  We also are dedicated advocates, educators, fundraisers, and participate in research.  Please join my team and walk in Portland to raise funds and awareness of HD.  The walk in on  Sat. Oct 1 at Willamette Park; register at 9 AM and walk at 11 AM.   You can support my efforts by donating online at this website.  You can also send donations directly to my home, 522 NW Harold St, Sublimity, OR 97385.   THANK YOU all for your support, love and prayers!  I could not even begin this battle without you all!  

Heb. 12:1-2:  "...let us throw off everything that hinders and sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.  Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
