One of the Team2Cure HD runners is Andrea. Her beautiful sister Cindy passed away on 01/23/2010 from complications of Huntington's Disease at the young age of 30. She is survived by her 16yr old daughter Darleen who is currently at risk for HD. Andrea made it her life's mission to create awareness and assist HDSA in raising funds for research in finding a cure for this horrific disease. She raised over $1700 in the 2010 Rock n Roll Marathon thanks to all of the love and support from her friends and family. Please open your hearts once again so that we can help FIND A CURE FOR HD. Andrea is HDSA's Hero of the Marathon. The Marathon will be the 1year anniversary of her sister, Cindy's passing. Let's celebrate on this day and make it a positive date on the calendar!! She has lost her life to this disease but she is still battling it in spirit. Please donate today. Thank you from all of our hearts. About Huntington's Disease Society of America -- Help for Today.

and genetic testing and counseling. The Society is comprised of 39 local chapters and affiliates
across the country with its headquarters in New York City. Additionally, HDSA hosts more
