Team Hope Walk Helps Those Affected by Huntington’s Disease

The Pacific West Region of the Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) will host the 2026 HDSA Team Hope Walk Santa Barbara, Saturday, Sept. 12 at Ledbetter Park, 801 Shoreline Drive.

Registration starts at 9 a.m.; the event starts at 9:30 a.m.

All proceeds support HDSA’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by Huntington’s disease (HD) and their families. 

Team Hope is HDSA’s largest national grassroots fundraising event, which takes place in more than 100 cities across the U.S. and has raised more than $28 million for HD since its inception in 2007.

Thousands of families, friends, co-workers, neighbors, and communities walk together each year to support HDSA’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by HD and their families.

Online registration and donation information can be found here.



Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person’s 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, HDSA said.
