CLEWISTON -- The South Region of the Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) will host the Clewiston Team Hope Walk on Saturday, May 14, at 9 a.m. at Sugar Festival Park. All proceeds support HDSA’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by Huntington’s disease (HD) and their families.

“It is amazing how bringing the passions of families in our HD community together at Team Hope Walk is both energetic and comforting,” said Melissa Wind, HDSA’s South Regional development officer. “We really are a family and I am so excited to see people in person, share a hug, and walk together for HDSA this year.”

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 Amy Waddell (waddella@hendry-schools.net, 313-300-6333). Online registration and donation can be found at hdsa.org/thwclewiston

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