A family that is battling a rare disease is having an annual fundraiser at the end of August.
Holly and Chyenne Jensen, are hosting the Third Annual Cruisin’ for a Cure, which invites those with motorcycles, classic cars, sports cars or any other vehicle to ride around Guthrie, Adair, Madison, and Dallas counties, enjoy local restaurants, and raise funds for Huntington’s Disease. Jensen says this inherit disease causes nerve cells in the brain to break down over time which has severely affected her family.
“Our father passed away from it. Our sister passed away from it. And it’s actually a genetic disease. So every child has a 50% chance of getting the gene for it. And our sister Whitney actually just was diagnosed this February. So this year, it’s really hitting home for us.”
The route this year starts with registration Short’s Place in Menlo on August 27th at 11am then they will make pit stops at The Port on Lake Panorama, Ruby’s Pub, Johnny’s Tap and Bloodlines Irish Pub. There are still opportunities to become a sponsor. For more details click the link here.
