HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE SOCIETY OF AMERICA

Team Hope Walk - Philadelphia Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania

Help Ursula raise money for Huntington's Disease

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
 

Our team is walking and raising money to help find a cure for Huntington's Disease.  It is a genetic brain disorder for which there is currently no cure or effective treatment.  It slowly diminishes the affected individual's ability to walk, think, talk and reason.  Each child of a person with HD has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the fatal gene.  In the USA, HD is as prevalent as Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS). 

My husband, Mike, recently went out on disability due to Huntington's Disease.  He inherited the disease from his mother.  We want hope for future generations.  That is why we are passionate about helpiing to raise money and awareness.  The researchers are optimistic that a cure is in the future and we need to do our part.

I am looking for team members to join Team Burek as well as sponsors and donations.  The walk will take place on Sunday, Sept. 13 at Montgomery County Community College in Blue Bell, PA.  Walk begins at 10 am with registration at 9 am.  Family Picnic to immediately follow. 

If you would like to join our team to walk, please click the above link, "Join this team".  There is no fee to register, however, a small donation would be deeply appreciated!  Please pass this along to anyone that would be interested in joining our Team. If you can not join us for the walk, than please help out with a donation.  Every little bit helps.

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.


Many thanks for your support!
