HDSA to host walk\/run September 17<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Upper Great Lakes Region of the Huntington\u2019s Disease Society of America (HDSA) will host the Lansing Team Hope Walk\/5K Run on Saturday, September 17th at 10:00 AM at Granger Meadows Park. All proceeds support HDSA\u2019s mission to improve the lives of people affected by Huntington\u2019s disease (HD) and their families.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing we want them to know is that they are NOT alone in this fight,\u201d said Camille Colletti, HDSA Upper Great Lakes Regional Development Officer. \u201cWhile HD might be rare, there are other families and friends here to support you within your very own community. With laughter, smiles, and a day of fun; our Team Hope events bring us all together to embrace our challenges, because Family is Everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team Hope is HDSA\u2019s largest national grassroots fundraising event, which takes place in over 100 cities across the U.S. and has raised more than $20 million for HD since its inception in 2007. Thousands of families, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and communities walk together each year to support HDSA\u2019s mission to improve the lives of people affected by HD and their families.<\/p>\n

For more information about the event, please contact Deb Boyd dboyd@hdsa.org<\/a>, 269-303-9119. Online registration and donation can be found at hdsa.org\/thwlansing<\/a><\/p>\n

HDSA’s Team Hope Walk Program is nationally sponsored by Genentech and Teva Pharmaceuticals.<\/p>\n

Huntington\u2019s disease (HD) is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person\u2019s physical and mental abilities during their prime working years and has no cure. Every child of a parent with HD has a 50\/50 chance of inheriting the faulty gene. Today, there are approximately 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease. The symptoms of HD are described as having ALS, Parkinson\u2019s and Alzheimer\u2019s \u2013 simultaneously.<\/em><\/p>\n

Breastfeeding is a true super power<\/strong><\/p>\n

The evidence is clear: breastfeeding makes children and their mothers healthier and stronger. It boosts a baby\u2019s immune system, providing protection from illness and infection. It guards against childhood obesity and diabetes. It gives breast-fed babies a solid foundation for life-long health and wellness. It reduces a woman\u2019s chance of breast and ovarian cancer and protects against post-partum depression. Pediatricians, healthcare experts, and millions of mothers all agree: breastfeeding is a true super power!<\/p>\n

Women have the amazing ability to give their baby the very best start in life by breastfeeding, and in a perfect world, all mothers and babies would reap the benefits of breastfeeding. But breastfeeding isn\u2019t always easy and sometimes a struggling mom needs a little help to be successful.<\/p>\n

Moms with breastfeeding challenges don\u2019t have to go it alone. Mid-Michigan District Health Department (MMDHD) and its Breastfeeding Peer Counselors are committed to reducing infant mortality and increasing the health of mothers and babies. The Breastfeeding Peer Counselor program, which is offered to mothers enrolled in Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) offers:
\n– Support and encouragement to moms about to deliver, to those who have just delivered, and to those going back to work.
\n– Education to pregnant women and mothers as their baby grows.<\/p>\n

Educating families before babies are born and providing consistent, accessible support through the first year of life and beyond are keys to helping moms reach their breastfeeding goals.<\/p>\n

Mothers enrolled in WIC and interested in receiving breastfeeding assistance should contact one of MMDHDs Breastfeeding Peer Counselors at 989-227-3137 in Clinton County, or 989-875-1073 in Gratiot and Montcalm counties.<\/p>\n

Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program is a Federal y \u2013funded program that serves low-and moderate income pregnant, breastfeeding, and postpartum women, infants and children (under age 5) who have nutrition-related health problems.<\/em><\/p>\n
