Taryn’s 5k for Huntington’s

Hi, everyone!

Many people will not know or will not have heard about Huntington's Disease.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive brain disorder caused by a defective gene. This disease causes changes in the central area of the brain, which affect movement, mood and thinking skills.

Recently, my family and myself have been affected by the disease. This disease is particularly cruel as it affects multiple generations within families, and not only their physical health but emotional and financial well-being.

Anyone who knows me knows that a 5k walk/run is quite the challenge! But this cause is very close to my heart and I’m determined to drum up as much support as I can!

Nga mihi 💜

I’m wanting to raise money and awareness for a rare disease that is affecting me and my family
