This Thursday! Marsha Robbins, trainer, educator, and pet therapy guru is part of the Human Animal Rescue Pittsburgh and the founder of Therapy Dog Tuesday at the University of Pittsburgh. She will bring other trained therapists and their trained therapy dogs and will give us a history of pet therapy and its benefits. Then we will have time to spend with the dogs for positive engagement and stress relief. If you are highly allergic to dogs, please pick another month to come, as we may have multiple dogs with us that evening. Please bring a friend or family member with you but please, do not bring your own dog or any food.

For families impacted by Huntington's disease, every day brings challenges most people never see. A parent watching symptoms progress. A child living with uncertainty. A family holding onto hope for more answers and better treatments.
