We will be Running (or Walking) in the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon on June 3, 2018 to help raise money to cure Huntington's disease. This is near & dear to our hearts.

We established lifelong friends at Helix High School. Over the decades we have kept in touch as we walk our lives together. In 1999, one of us, Ramona Johnston, was diagnosed with HD. We remember Ramona explaining the surprising diagnosis. As the months and years passed, we watched as she lost control of her muscles and cognitive skills. Now Ramona receives 24-hour care at Edgemoor Hospital. She can no longer walk, talk, chew or swallow. This beautiful and charming friend, that was so quick-witted, cannot communicate.

HD is a dreadful disease that is taking our friend and thousands like her. Ramona's husband Bill has been Running to Cure HD since 2001. Their daughter, Hayley, joined him in 2009. Now, Bill & Ramona's Helix High School friends are joining in! We are ready to Run (or Walk) to Cure HD!

Huntington's disease is a hereditary, degenerative brain disorder for which there is no effective treatment or cure. HD is a debilitating disease that combines symptoms of Parkinsons, ALS and Alzeimer's. HD slowly diminishes the affected individual's ability to walk, talk, eat and reason. Children of a parent with HD have a 50% chance of inheriting this deadly disease.

Your support means the world to us. Please consider making a pledge and helping us make this the last generation with HD. Your contributions are tax deductible (Tax ID

Thank you!

Ramona's Friends
