Barkers Battle. Run for a Cure. Huntingtons Diesease awareness

Barkers Battle. Run for a Cure. Huntingtons Diesease awareness

Submitted by: Rich Wheeler

Hi, My name is Rich Wheeler, originally from Baie Verte. My wife has recently being diagnosed with a terminal brain disease called Huntington's Disease. Her brother Rick, also has this disease. Their Dad and sister have since passed from it. In an effort to bring awareness to it we just completed our second annual Team HD Run for a Cure. We held this on July 5th and covered the distance between Baie Verte and Coachman's Cove...20kms. My son Jordan and my nephew Cory whose Dad has HD, ran the entire 20 kms themselves. It started out wet but we ended with a fabulous sunny afternoon. We had approx 70 participants and we had a goal of raising $5000 for research.....as of today we have close to $12,000 raised!! We would like to extend a huge thank you to our families and friends who came out to support us and also to the many people who donated to our cause, More information in Huntingtons disease can be found at ww.huntingtons society.ca and at www.teamhd,ca. Also anyone can contact me at constabman45@ nl.rogers.com. If they wish to assist in the formation of a chapter in the our area. Thanks again to everyone for their support.
