Windsor/Essex Walk for Huntington disease
The Huntington Society of Canada (HSC) is excited to share the details of the upcoming Windsor Walk on Sunday, September 7! Huntington disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disease that gradually affects a person’s physical and cognitive abilities. Windsor/Essex Chapter volunteers are excited to continue raising awareness for individuals and families with HD in their community and are hopeful for your support. Details: Time: 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM Date: Sunday, September 7, 2025 Location: Chrysler Greenway Trail (meet in the Mettawa’s Restaurant parking lot at 169 Lansdowne Ave., Kingsville) Sign-up and event/contact details can be found here: https://p2p.onecause.com/windsorwalk. Sign up ahead of time not required but encouraged. Let us introduce you to HD: HD is a genetic brain disorder with physical, mental and emotional symptoms. It is often described as having ALS, Parkinson’s, schizophrenia and Alzheimer’s, all at the same time. There is no known cure. One in every 7,000 Canadians has HD and approximately one in every 5,500 is at-risk for developing the disease. Many more are touched by HD as a caregiver, family member, or friend. Who is HSC? Established in 1973, by Ralph and Ariel Walker, HSC is a national and global leader in recognizing the needs of those affected by HD. The Society offers help to Canadians affected by HD through service programs that give support to individuals and families, and hope, by funding cutting edge, internationally recognized, Huntington disease research. Without volunteers like those of our Windsor/Essex Chapter, what we do would not be possible. Can’t make it out but still want to support? Feel free to donate directly to the cause: https://p2p.onecause.com/windsorwalk. All donations directly support individuals and families affected by HD in Canada.
