Hunt for the Cure- May 4

[Brutis]

Greetings,
My name is Burt Peterson.
Many of you know me simply as "Brutis".
I am the captain and founder of Wild Bunch, a scenario paintball team located in Minnesota.
I am at risk for Huntington's disease. (HD)
Both my mother & my brother have HD.
I have a 50/50 (coin toss - heads you get it & die, tails you don't) chance of developing this terrible disease.
My daughter is also at risk.
For the majority of my life I've hid & downplayed my risk. Now that I'm at the age when symptoms start to develop, I've decided (with the support of my friends & teammates) to do what I can to raise awareness & money for research. Since HD is an inherited disease, the general public doesn't seem concerned about it. As a result, our families (who are the ones affected the MOST by HD) end up being our caregivers.
My method of fighting this dragon is hosting the "Hunt for the cure" charity scenario game.

100% of profits from this event go to the Huntingtons Disease Society of America. (HDSA)
For three years now, we've produced an event that is quickly becoming the premier scenario game in the upper midwest. I believe that by providing a superior event, entries will continue to rise.
But we need your help. Please watch this video. You will learn more about why we are fighting.

This is just one other family trying to do something for their loved ones.
These people were not born disabled – they got this during the prime of their life and were robbed of everything.
We need your help. Please consider our paintball charity event for your schedule. If you cannot attend, please volunteer or contribute.
I'm not sure what my future will be, but with your help, others like my daughter, might just have a future.

Respectfully,
Burt "Brutis" Peterson
Captain, Wild Bunch

I had a blast last year.
Even though I had a raging headache and had to grab a guys barrel so he wouldn't shoot me a dozen times point blank.
I hope I can make it out.
