“I’m so appreciative,” said Lori Rodino about the one-mile fun run and 5K race held Sunday morning at Tawasentha Park in Guilderland as a fundraiser for her family. Here Rodino, center, chats with daughter Gianna — 22, who works as a case manager at St. Peter’s Hospital — at right, and Gianna’s friend, Chris Cusack, during the fun run. Rodino is wife, mother, and caretaker: Her husband, Rick Rodino, suffers from advanced Huntington’s disease; all three of Lori and Rick Rodino’s children — including their oldest child Anthony Rodino, now 24 — inherited the neurological disease for which there is no cure. The family’s youngest child, Rachel, died of Huntington’s in 2010, when she was 8. “I’m overwhelmed by the support this community continues to show,” said Lori Rodino.
