edit data

Lori Jones personally experienced the effects of Huntington’s Disease (HD) in her family and was instrumental in starting Team Hope Fox Valley events to raise awareness and support for research and community programs through the Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) – Wisconsin Chapter.

A storyteller at heart, she regularly writes and speaks about her experiences with HD and many other topics to groups of all ages.

Lori has three adult children and lives with her husband Chris in Wisconsin, when they aren’t escaping to their cottage in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to enjoy kayaking, hiking, and campfires.

This is her first book.
