TRAVERSE CITY — The Upper Great Lakes Region of the Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) will host the Traverse City Team Hope Walk on Saturday, August 13th at 10:00 AM at Sunset Park. All proceeds support HDSA’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by Huntington’s disease (HD) and their families. 

“While HD might be rare, there are other families and friends here to support you within your very own community,” said Camille Colletti, HDSA’s Upper Great Lakes Regional Development Officer. “With laughter, smiles, and a day of fun; our Team Hope events bring us all together to embrace our challenges, because Family is Everything.” 

Team Hope is HDSA’s largest national grassroots fundraising event, which takes place in over 100 cities across the U.S. and has raised more than $20 million for HD since its inception in 2007. Thousands of families, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and communities walk together each year to support HDSA’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by HD and their families.  

For more information about the event, please contact Betsy Chisholm (betsy1207@aol.com, 419-707-3744) and Jen Ferris (jenjferris@gmail.com, 231-649-1254). Online registration and donation can be found at hdsa.org/thwtraversecity 

HDSA's Team Hope Walk Program is nationally sponsored by Genentech and Teva Pharmaceuticals.
