My Nonprofit Reviews

HD is a huge part of my family. My Grandfather passed away from the disease a few months ago and many of my family members also carry the gene. Because there is no cure, I really wanted to do something in hopes that one day there would be a cure for this awful disease. I did some research online for a charity. I came across HDSA. I was so pleased to (1) find a NON-PROFIT for HD and (2) a charity that also organizes walks (Team Hope) that was also a NON-PROFIT. I have done other events in the past for different causes that required minimum amounts for fundraising and I was never too sure how much actually went to the cause. With HDSA I know all the money is going right back to the cause. You can even participate without raising any money because support and raising awareness is also important. My family and I have raised money and walked for HDSA every year since learning about the organization and will continue to every year until there is a cure. Being that Huntington’s disease is a family disease, it means a lot that HDSA also gives support to family members/caregivers. It helps knowing that they were and will continue be there for my Grandmother and family during these difficult times. My Grandmother and Grandfather would have celebrated 60 years of marriage just 2 months after his fight with HD ended.
