Below is the article written about our first teamHD Prince George Run For Lor.  I really hope this reaches as many people as possible and that maybe it causes some people register for the walk or make a donation.  We all need to live with our eyes wide open to the people around us that suffer from HD. 

Each year, our chapters raise more than a million dollars for the Huntington’s cause through walks, runs, volleyball tournaments, golf tournaments, horseback rides and more. Here we pay tribute to just a few of the powerhouse events from 2012.
Run for Lor
What: 1 and 5 km walk/run
When: September 23, 2012
Where: Masich Place Stadium,
Prince George, B.C.
Why: To mark the first anniversary of Lorelei Dale’s death
In the words of organizer Heather Chalmers:
Twenty people registered for the event but over 60 people actually came out. I was blown away. I started off thinking it might just be a small
since this was the first event for HD in Prince George, but I was very glad I was wrong!
I did most of the organizing, but I have amazing friends and family who got everything set up on the day itself, and my good friend Kathleen helped me stay on track. The National Office held an information session the day before, and having Lor’s family come from various places in B.C. to take part was very special.
I think what made the run successful is that it needed to happen. I lost a very good friend to Huntington’s, and there is not enough awareness about the disease. That needed to change.
This event was just the beginning. Last fall I launched an Amaryllis campaign in Prince George, and I’m already starting to plan the next Run for Lor. Our goal for the 2012 run was to raise $3,000. We surpassed that by almost 200 per cent. Next year we will aim higher, and even higher for every year from then on, because we have shown that we can do it.
