Hello Good Friends and Loving Family,

 

 

As you may know, my son-in-law  Richard Ashford was diagnosed several years ago to have Huntington’s Disease .   He has not been able to work for a couple years.   Our daughter, Carol and her two sons, Grant 16 and Geoffrey, 14 are loving, caring and supportive - Richard is a very fortunate guy to have them.

 

The Huntington’s Disease  Society, New York City Chapter has been very helpful to Carol, during this stressful  time .  Sisters, Barbara, Janet Susan and I  wish we were closer but are doing what we can to be helpful . Right now, he best we can do  is to seek financial support  for The Huntington Dusease Society. The HD Team Hope Walk, held this year  in September, is their major activity to provide funds for research and services to caregivers.   Last year our family team, “Team Richard”, raised over $8,600. thanks to your most generous support .   Thank you!!!   Last year  Janet and Susan traveled to New York for the event and I believe they plan to attend  again this year.   

 

 We ask once again tfor your continuing assistance.   I am keenly aware of the many worthy causes with which we are bombarded these days and  will understand if you do not choose to contribute    In any case, please wish us well!!!   You may make a contribution on line by following the instruction on this web site.

 

Many thanks for your consideration.   Kay continues to survive in a wonderful skilled nursing environment.    Somehow I know  she joins me in wishing you and your famlies, “all the best”.   As for me, the lovely Gretta and my beautiful family keep me going!!!

 

Love & Hugs,

Bob
