Running For Ramona
"Then, finally, it hit me, the only way I could really help her other than being there for her was to help find a cure for this thing..."
Why can't there be more stories in the newspaper like this one in the San Diego Union-Tribune? Not only is this a great article on Huntington's. It's a great story about love. Bill & Ramona Johnston, former high school sweethearts.
"But it really shows when this comes, and I get diagnosed and since Day One he couldn't be sweeter – kind, gentle, loving. You hope you're married to that kind of guy. You hope that, but you don't really know."
He a PR guy for the San Diego Chargers and she's the pHD raising two teenagers. They're also raising money, lots of it, for HD research.
"Then you get away from it and start looking at it – I just did that, and we raised $64,000 just for doing that. There's nothing else I could do by myself to raise that kind of money."
Do yourself a favor and read the article.

I loved this article and I must applaud the efforts of the San Diego community as a whole I know they are one of the best at assisting charity.
H.D. Is hardest on the families and loved ones and it is time we all work together for each other.
