Whether you’re dusting off your own broom and stone or you’re a fan from the stands, join other curling enthusiasts at The Huntington’s Disease Society of America’s (HDSA) Massachusetts and Rhode Island Chapter’s “Curling For A Cure” on March 5 at Broomstones Curling Club in Wayland. The event will recognize those who have made an impact in their community while inspiring others to join the fight against Huntington’s disease — a fatal genetic disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain that is described as having ALS, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s disease all at once. Today, there are approximately 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at risk of inheriting the disease.

Registration for the players begins at 11 a.m., with an 11:30 a.m. start time for play. Observation tickets are available, as well as team sponsorships and individual tickets, which include training, lunch, and dinner.

All curling participants and spectators will need to show proof of Covid vaccination for admission into the event.
