stach contest for hungtington's disease

my dear friend maggie's family has a history of Huntington's disease. maggie has a chance of having the disease herself. for the last couple years her family has done a fundraiser to raise money and awareness for this disease! it is time to find a cure!!! they have a stach contest every year. they guys have be be clean shaved feb 14th and they have about 4 weeks to grow the best stach they can. they then have to dress to match the stach . mark and i went for the american chopper look. mark can grow some MAD facial hair so we had fun with it! he ended up winning the largest stach :) it was a fun night with friends raising money for a good cause. with the sponsors all the guys got they ended up raising about $4000!

we are already looking forward to next year!

we love you maggie and pray everyday that this disease will not touch you!

Brooke,
Thank you so much for this wonderful blog post! I love you and your sweet family so very much! This all meant so much to me and my family. I wish there could be a cure for HD. Maybe there will be someday. I know God is always with me and watching over my family! Thank you so much for joining us in the mustache contest. Mark has a gift of growing one super sized stache! It was so much fun and a fun way of doing something to help HD. We love you guys and are so thankful for the wonderful friendship that we have!
