Since I've committed to running the half marathon September 12, I've decided running it for a charity would give me a bit of an extra motivation boost. I've choosen to run for the Huntington's Disease Society of America. I've worked with this chairty before and have seen the great things they are doing to help those affected by the devastating disease. Whatever you can contribute is greatly appreciated!

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

 

And a little more info about Huntington's Disease:

Huntington's Disease: a devastating, hereditary, degenerative brain disorder for which there is, at present, no effective treatment or cure. HD slowly diminishes the affected individual's ability to walk, talk and reason. Eventually, the person with HD becomes totally dependent upon others for his or her care. Huntington's Disease profoundly affects the lives of entire families -- emotionally, socially and economically. Please visit http://www.hdsa.org/about/our-mission/what-is-hd.html for more information.
