The Hope Weekend
March 10, 2025Saturday, April 27th, 2024, Tyler’s Hope for a Dystonia Cure held their 5th Annual Cajun Crawfish Boil at Momentum Labs in Alachua. There was something for all generations and the attendance reflected that. From the cornhole tournament, live music performed by The Medicine Show and the Lowly Worm and the Fantastic Beverages, bounce houses for kids and great food, it was a fun-filled day to support an amazing cause. Supporters in attendance included Eight Judicial Circuit State Attorney Brian Kramer and Alachua County Sheriff Emery Gainey.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better day”, said Tyler’s Hope President & Co-Founder Rick Staab. “The weather was beautiful for an outdoor event. Very fitting to be out at Jaxon labs in the new Momentum Labs building, the home of one of the largest research laboratories in America.
Tyler’s Hope was established 19 years ago to advance research for a cure and to discover effective treatments of dystonia. With Centers of Excellence at UF Health and Duke Health and researchers all across the country, Tyler’s Hope is leading the charge in finding a cure for the third most common movement disorder after Parkinson’s and Tremor. Dystonia impacts more people than Muscular Dystrophy, Huntington’s Disease and Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS) combined.
