Christian Hoff, Tony Award Winner from Jersey Boys, teams up with The Bachmann-Strauss Foundation to speak out about a movement disorder known as Dystonia. Dystonia is a neurological muscle disorder that causes uncontrollable, painful spasms in one or more parts of the body and is not widely known. Dystonia affects more than 500,000 people in North America which is more than muscular dystrophy, Huntington's disease and Lou Gehrig's disease combined.

Innovative research is currently being conducted to lessen the painful effects of Dystonia, but more needs to be done. Getting more answers about Dystonia can possibly help uncover more about other movement disorders such Parkinson's Disease.
