Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor Amanda White, a 24 year old nurse who was a caregiver to Clare, a 29 year old who suffered from Huntington's Disease and died in February. To read about Amanda and Clare, go to http://tinyurl.com/45w2k

Note added 17th April: Amanda completed the London Marathon in 4h34m56s - WELL DONE AMANDA!

Your donation will help families suffering the devastation of Huntington's Disease - an inherited and inevitably fatal disease which robs sufferers of the ability to think, walk, talk, and eat over a period of many years.

The disease does not discriminate and affects children & adults, and both men & women. The defective gene which causes the disease can be passed on before the parent even knows they have it, and each child has a 50% chance of inheriting the gene.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor Amanda: the Huntington's Disease Association will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor Amanda now! Many thanks for your support. Sue (aka sue_twin2) Personal web site: http://www.geocities.com/sue_twin2/index.html
