AND MINI MUSIC FESTIVAL Congratulations and thank you to all who volunteered and participated with the walk. The weather was beautiful and the event went off without a hitch thanks to Jana Wilcox from Verizon Group and her committee of hard working Northern CA volunteers. The event raised over $36,000.00 for research and family services for Huntington's patients and families. Watch for information about the 2008 walk.
