Delaware Team Hope Walk Oct. 16 to support Huntington’s disease research

The Huntington's Disease Society of America Northeast Region will host the Delaware Team Hope Walk at 9 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 16, in Cape Henlopen State Park at the main beach pavilion. Team Hope is HDSA’s largest national grassroots fundraising event; it takes place in more than 100 cities across the U.S. and has raised more than $20 million for Huntington's disease since its inception in 2007.

Huntington's is a brain disease that is passed down in families from generation to generation with symptoms described as having ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – simultaneously. Today, there are approximately 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at risk of inheriting the disease.
