The Huntington's Disease Society of America (HDSA) 2025 Team Hope Walk helps to raise money to support vital research and support services for individuals and families affected by Huntington's Disease.

Huntington’s disease 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 usually 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 that causes the disease. Today, there are approximately 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease. Huntington’s disease is described as having ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – simultaneously. HD is characterized by a triad of symptoms, including progressive motor dysfunction, behavioral disturbance and cognitive decline.

The walk is a significant event in our community, drawing attention to an important cause and bringing together individuals who are dedicated to making a difference. To make the event even more impactful, we are organizing a silent auction, with all proceeds going directly to support HDSA's mission.
