Team 2 Cure Huntington's Disease RAAM 2008

Team 2 Cure Huntington's Disease was created in 2005 by Scott Needle and Renato Shaffer as a grass roots effort.  Scott and Renato's goal was to raise much needed money for research and awareness.  What started out as idle talk soon became reality as the team of Bryan Medrano, John Sylvester, Renato Shaffer and Scott Needle began training in earnest. 

Team 2 Cure "HD" had set a lofty goal of competing in the 2006 Race Across America a nonstop 3045 mile race.    The route is over 3,000 miles, touching 14 states and climbing over 100,000 feet and is considered the super bowl of ultramarathon events.

Amazingly the team completed the race in 8 days.  The team raised over $100,000 dollars for research and much needed awareness.  The team could not have completed the race without the support of 12 crew members made up of family and friends and our generous donors.
