He had become an avid runner to begin his health journey in order to be there for his two daughters. We honor him at this event by running here on earth whilst heâs running with Christ. Proceeds go to the organization closest to his heart: Huntingtonâs Disease Society of America. Adamâs father was diagnosed with Huntingtonâs Disease, ultimately taking his life just six years before Adam on October 21, 2011. Huntingtonâs Disease is described as having ALS, Parkinsonâs and Alzheimerâs â simultaneously. Read more on Huntingtonâs Disease here: https://hdsa.org/ |
