Laura became involved with the HDSA Western Pennsylvania Chapter around 35 years ago, when she and her mother began helping out with mailings, and Laura assisted with the longest W. PA fundraiser, Charlotte’s Run. Laura, since the beginning, has been a mainstay and volunteer for this annual fundraiser and in supporting the event organizer, Alex Andres, in this mission. Laura not only helped with this fundraiser and many others, but has a deep compassion for those dealing with HD and their families. She became President of the Western PA Chapter and has held that position multiple times throughout her 35 years of volunteering. She works with the Western PA Board to create and sustain trademark events and opportunities for the HD community in Western PA, and is also a strong supporter of our UPMC Center of Excellence and the work that is done there. Later this month the Western PA Chapter will host the 35th Annual Charlotte’s Run and the 17th Annual Fast Track events. Thank you Laura for your years of dedication and service to improving the lives of everyone affected by Huntington’s Disease!
