 community is very dear to me. It is inspiring to see HD patients, their 
 families, and friends participating in the walk/run to raise awareness, 
 funds for research, and share support. Every step brings us closer to 
 finding a cure." - Uma Thonkakudi – Event Chair & Chapter Vice 
 President.\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 $28 million for HD since its inception in 2007. \n\nThousands 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: Uma Thontakudi

 Program is nationally sponsored by Neurocrine Biosciences and Teva 
 \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.

The 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.
