Kick HD on Route 66

Neither of the riders comes from a family with Huntington's Disease. In 1997, Marie discovered HD through meeting Carmen Leal, author of Faces of Huntington's, on the Christian Writer's Group list on the Internet. In June 1998, at Carmen's invitation, Marie attended the HDSA Convention in Denver, CO. After this experience, Marie was deeply touched. Her Christian faith required action; "let us not love with word or with tongue... but in deed and truth" (1 John 3:18). Marie and Charlotte met through a mutual friend, and they rode the first "Bike For The Cure" together in 1999. Since then, Charlotte and Marie have done three more rides together for HD (Charlotte rode around Colorado for Habitat for Humanity in 2000, while Marie rode across America with Scott Springer.) This is the sixth ride for HD; previous rides include Bike for the Cure 99, Bike For The Cure 2000, Border War on HD (Canada to Mexico), HD Ramble 'Round the Colonies, and Trek Across Texas. More than 10,000 miles have been covered in these past rides, through parts of 29 states, raising over $106,000 to help cure HD. This year the goal is to reach at least $125,000. Please give generously so a cure may be found.
