Thank you for your interest in supporting Manny in the Century Ride for Huntington Disease!

On June 6, Manny will be cycling an imperial century in support of the Huntington Society of Canada (HSC). HSC aspires to a world free from Huntington Disease (HD). Together, with your support, HSC maximizes the quality of life of people living with HD through services, support, advocacy, and research.

One in every 7,000 Canadians has HD, a devestating, degenerative brain disorder. The symptoms are like having Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS in one disease. Every child of a parent with HD has a 50% chance of inheriting the disease.

There is currently no cure. Please show your support and help the HD Community find meaningful treatments!

A Message from Manny

Like everyone, as a family we are dealing with these uncertain times of COVID-19 the best we can. Social distancing, working remotely, schedule changes and self-isolation have all changed our lives significantly. I am lucky in that I’ve always enjoyed cycling and it is an activity that can be done in isolation. This year, I have been doing a little more early season cycling than I normally would, to get some exercise. On a ride I began thinking if there was any way to do what I love, give me a goal to work towards and actually make a positive difference and raise some funds for a charity.
Individuals with Huntington disease have to deal with many challenges besides those brought about by this pandemic. So, I thought it would be a perfect fit as a charity.
For me, the event will be very tough but when you think about it nothing compared to what the strong, HD community has to deal with each and every day.

Wish me luck (I’ll need it lol) and donate to this amazing cause!

Cheers,

Manny
