Dear Family and Friends,
On September 13th I will be participating in Team Hope Walk for Huntington’s Disease in order to raise money for research and education.
For those who are not familiar with Huntington’s Disease, it is a hereditary, degenerative brain disorder. HD slowly diminishes the affected individual’s ability to walk, think, talk, and reason. HD is recognized as one of the more common genetic disorders, affecting males and females and crosses all ethnic and racial boundaries.
Like so many other families, HD has impacted my family in unimaginable ways. My sister has recently been diagnosed with HD. I also have several other relatives that either have been diagnosed with HD or carry the gene. Each child of a person with HD has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the fatal gene. Everyone who carries the gene will develop the disease.
At present there is no cure for HD. Researchers are optimistic but we need your help. Please join us as we walk for a cure on September 13th, 9:00 AM-12:00 PM, Montgomery County Community College 340 DeKalb Pike (Rte 202), Blue Bell, PA 19422
If you're unable to walk, please consider a donation through my website (
www.firstgiving.com/phylliscoronado). Donating through the website is totally secure and most efficient to support my fundraising effort.
If you prefer to write a check, please make it payable to HDSA (Huntington’s Disease Society of America) and mail it to me at my address: 739 Front St. Hellertown, PA 18055
Thank you for taking the time to read this important message and feel free to forward it to anyone who you think might have a heart for our cause.
