DESCRIPTION:
The San Francisco Bay Area Affiliate of the Huntington’s Disease 
 Society of America (HDSA) will host the San Jose Team Hope 10K Run/5K Walk 
 on Saturday, September 18th at 7:30 AM (PST) at Campbell Park at the Los 
 Gatos Creek Trail in Campbell California. All proceeds support HDSA’s 
 mission to improve the lives of people affected by Huntington’s disease 
 (HD) and their families. \n\n“For the past two years, my family has been 
 involved in organizing the San Jose Team Hope Walk/Run and we are excited 
 to be planning the event again,” said Therese Crutcher-Marin, Chair of 
 HDSA’s San Francisco Bay Area Affiliate. “The HD community gathers to 
 show solidarity, mutual support, for all families struggling with HD.” 
 \n\nTeam Hope is HDSA’s largest national grassroots fundraising event, 
 which takes place in over 100 cities across the U.S. and has raised more 
 than $14 million for HD since its inception in 2007. Thousands of families, 
 friends, co-workers, neighbors, and communities walk together each year to 
 support HDSA’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by HD and 
 their families. \n\nFor more information about the event, please contact 
 Therese Crutcher-Marin (theresecrutchermarin@gmail.com, 530-906-8415). 
 Online registration and donation can be found at http://hdsa.org/thwsanjose 
 \n\nHDSA's Team Hope Walk Program is nationally sponsored by Genentech and 
 Teva Pharmaceuticals. \n\nHuntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal genetic 
 disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. 
 It deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities during their 
 prime working years and has no cure. Every child of a parent with HD has a 
 50/50 chance of inheriting the faulty gene. Today, there are approximately 
 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting 
 the disease. The symptoms of HD are described as having ALS, Parkinson’s 
 and Alzheimer’s – simultaneously. \n\nThe Huntington’s Disease 
 Society of America is the premier nonprofit organization dedicated to 
 improving the lives of everyone affected by HD. From community services and 
 education to advocacy and research, HDSA is the world’s leader in 
 providing help for today and hope for tomorrow for people with HD and their 
 families. HDSA was founded in 1967 by Marjorie Guthrie, the wife of 
 legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie. Woody died from HD complications when 
 he was only 55 years old, but the Guthrie family legacy lives on at HDSA to 
 this day. \n\nTo learn more about Huntington’s disease and the work of
