HUNTINGTONS DISEASE SOCIETY OF AMERICA INC. WISCONSIN CHAPTER, WI

Bungee to Beat HD Bloukrans Bridge, South Africa,  Wisconsin

South Africa Bungee to Beat HD

What could top summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro to cure HD? We decided that was impossible to top, but risking the world’s highest bridge bungee in South Africa is a close second!

 
On February 23rd 2011 Shana and Nate will dive 710 feet (216 meters) off of the Bloukrans Bridge in beautiful South Africa in honor of Debby Martin, and all others suffering with Huntington’s Disease. 
 
Please help us reach or fundraising goal of $6,000. T-Shirts will be made with names of all donors who donate before January 31st 2011. As always, corporate donations are welcome and appreciated!

For those of you who do not know, my mom suffers from this terrible disease.  I also have a 50% chance of being gene positive.  As board member of the Huntington's Disease Society of Wisconsin, it is my mission, along with all of the families and supporters to CURE THIS DISEASE!  Funds raised will also go to help HD families in need.

Thank you for visiting my Personal Fundraising Page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

In this tough economic year, any donation is greatly appreciated.
