Hike For Hyde

I had a great time at the Hike for Hyde this weekend!  If you aren't familiar with Hyde, he is a 3 1/2 year old boy with a terrible disease - Atypical HUS.  Bryan Hearn and Kegley Hubbard are two other local boys who suffer from this disease and who were also honored at the event this year.

In the United States, there is believed to be between 300 - 600 cases. Most cases occur in young children, although some adults may suddenly get hit with the disease. There is no cure for Atypical HUS. In fact, there is no standard treatment, as each case is different. For more information about Hyde, Bryan and Keagley, please go to http://www.hikeforhyde.com/
