The 14th Annual San Francisco Walk/Fun Run is to help in the fight against Huntington's disease (HD). HD is a rare, fatal, genetic brain disorder that has the symptoms of ALS, Parkinson's and Alzheimers at the same time. It strikes during prime working years and if a parent has HD, each child has a 50/50 of inheriting the disease. 16% of all HD cases are children with Juvenile HD. There is NO CURE.
The event is now Virtual because of the Coronavirus.
Please join us and make the 2020 event a huge success. Proceeds from the event support HD resources in the greater SF area.
