Walking for Huntington's Disease Research
Dear Friends and Family,
Over the years I’ve participated in many fundraising efforts for various well deserving charities. This time I’m fundraising for a cause that is very personal to me and my family. My son, Scott Bradley, has been diagnosed as having a debilitating disease called “Huntington’s Disease.” Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a devastating, hereditary, degenerative brain disorder, which slowly diminishes the affected individual’s ability to walk, think, talk and reason. At the present time, there is no effective treatment or cure . . . only research to find a cure.
On Saturday, October 14th, 2006, I will be walking to raise funds for Huntington's Disease research. The HD WALK FOR THE CURE goes through the beautiful campus of the UC Irvine and past the Huntington’s Disease research building. The annual HD WALK FOR THE CURE is the only large-scale event that provides awareness, education and funds for Huntington’s Disease research.
I’m asking you to support my fundraising efforts today through this site. Any amount you can give (it is tax-deductible, of course) will bring us closer to the overall HD WALK FOR THE CURE fundraising goal of $150,000 for Huntington’s Disease research. Through the research of HDSA, they will make a cure a close reality and create a better life for Scott and others who are currently suffering as a result of Huntington’s Disease. My personal fundraising goal is $10,000.00. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.
The funds collected through the HD WALK FOR THE CURE and my site will be directed to the UC Irvine HD Research Team as part of the National Coalition for the Cure Program.
You may also make a donation with a personal check. Please make checks payable to the “Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA)” and mail it to me at 15 Bronco Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
90275 by Thurs., Oct. 12. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at ejnart@cox.net.
On behalf of Scott, his family and myself, thank you for your support in finding a cure.
Love,
E.J. Garner
