Dear Family & Friends,
A little over 23 years ago, all of us in the HD Family were ecstatic to hear that the HD gene had finally been found!! It had been a long time coming, but this was the break the scientists needed to find a cure! I remember my sweet Mom telling Karon & I, that a cure or treatment may not come for her, but it definitely would happen for us! My family was so full of hope. Sadly, our family and so many others have had to lose a lot more members. We try and stay positive and persevere, but it can be very difficult.
In these especially hard financial times, it's particularly difficult to ask for donations. When I think of Jesse & Zane, though, I know I must. We can't stop until HD is cured & we no longer need to keep having walks. What a great day that will be!!
Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts. Please pass along to any friends you think may want to donate!! With Deepest Thanks,
Lynn Zinkl
