Your Support is Needed!!!!
As most of you know, the 2006 RAAM Bike Race across America has the 2CURE-HD Team participating this year, with all money raised going towards HD Research. Three of the four cyclists in this relay team have HD in their families: Bryan Medrano tested positive for the HD-gene, Renato Shaffer’s wife was just diagnosed with HD (and he has two children), Scott Needle’s wife is at-risk for HD, and the fourth rider John Sylvester doesn’t have HD in his family – he is doing it to support the cause. Brian is a member of the NYA and the 2004 HDSA Person of the Year!
Even if you don't live in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Western PA or New Jersey, maybe you have a friend or relative who does and will forward this message on to them [please] asking if they can help?
