We are proud to extend that amazing event to the East Cost with this inaugural Hike for a Cure - Shenandoah. Please join us for a challenging 11 mile hike on portions of the Appalachian Trail and other scenic trails within Shenandoah National Park on May 1st, 2010.

We look forward to an event that will not only raise much needed funds for these orphan diseases, but one that will bring together families and friends of those affected. Please join us by hiking or sponsoring a hiker!

Hike For A Cure 2008 (click to see full picture)

Three months after our son Anton was born he was diagnosed with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH). Our world was in turmoil as we struggled with this threat to his life. Fortunately, the disease was diagnosed early. Anton responded well to the treatment and has been in remission since then. For details on Anton's experience, click here.

Once our lives began to stabilize, we felt strongly about helping other families facing this disease. A fortuitous conversation catalyzed our thoughts, and we decided to launch a fundraiser for research into a cure for histiocytosis. In September 2001 we kicked of our first "Hike for a Cure". It was a great success and inspired us to make this an annual event.

Please join us on Sunday, September 27, 2009 for Hike for a Cure. Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of families fighting this disease!
