Shana Verstegen

Shana (Martin) Verstegen has many things to be proud of, but her work with the Huntington’s disease Society of America in honor of her mother will always top that list. Shana’s mother passed away from Huntington’s Disease in March of 2013. After growing up watching Debby Martin lose her ability to move independently, Shana strived to live every day to the fullest with a focus on movement – from being the first female pole vaulter at the University of Wisconsin, to winning 6 lumberjack world championship titles. Shana’s professional life involves traveling the country in the fitness industry as a Master Instructor for TRX Training and the American Council on Exercise, personal training, and teaching group exercise. Of course her heart is with fundraising and raising awareness toward finding a cure for Huntington’s Disease. She recently tested negative but will never give up the fight.
