John and I are so excited to share the good news. The nonfiction book I published in April, 2017, Watching Their Dance: Three Sisters, a Genetic Disease and Marrying into a Family At Risk for Huntington’s, has generated a profit of $9,015.00 that we donated to 
I’m going to digress just a bit and reminisce about the 2016 NYC Marathon. Vanessa and Fran
were on the Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) Team last year and we were their biggest fans, rooting them on.
Keith, Fran, John and I flew to NY together on Thursday and Vanessa, Scott, Jim, Dawn, Scott’s parents arrived Friday. HDSA staff threw a Kickoff party for all the participants and it was a lot of fun. I’m in the picture with Chris Cosentino, Director of Communications and Marketing at the party. He’s my contact at HDSA National for promoting my book, Watching Their Dance.
line. The day was perfect, weather a mild 73 degrees, a temperature runners love. The girls told us when they were done, that there was constant cheering on the whole route. Because of the enthusiasm of the crowd, they were pumped up, cutting 10 minutes off their last marathon time. Keith, our mountain biker still at age 33, rented a bike and followed them.

Therese is donating 100% of the proceeds from her nonfiction/memoir book, Watching Their Dance: Three Sisters, a Genetic Disease and Marrying into a Family At Risk for Huntington’s, to HDSA and Huntington’s disease organizations around the world.
A little over two (2) years ago, Chris Consentino, HDSA Marketing and Communications Director in the corporate office in NY, 
reached out to me because he had heard I was writing a book and it would have a fundraising component to it that involved HDSA. Well, needless to say, I was thrilled and over discussing the project he offered to partner in the promotion of the book. So, began our business relationship. 
The second dream I had was taking a book tour to heighten awareness of Huntington’s disease and promote the book. John and I love traveling the highways and back roads, avoiding freeways, taking the time to enjoy the landscape, animals, agriculture in different states, so we traded in our fifth wheel and truck and purchased a 30 ft. motorhome. As John and I began to plan the tour, my job was to plot HDSA events we could attend after the National Convention and John was in charge of mapping out our route. Since we’ve never visited the Midwest, we saw it as an adventure.
John and I are entering the last month of my book tour. The time on the road, two months, has gone so fast; I don’t want it to end! Here’s what we have planned.
August 8-Sterling City Michigan. Attend the HDSA Support Group meeting and share my book with attendees. 
100% of the proceeds from the book is being donated to Huntington’s disease organizations around the world.
