Huntington’s Disease is horrendous.  It’s passed genetically down through families and there is no cure.  Huntington’s Disease Association (HDA) is at the global forefront of research, and provides a support network and advice service to families facing this uncertain reality.

A close family member has been directly affected by Huntington’s
for many years.  In October 2014, Jane lost her amazing, beautiful niece 2 months before her 17th Birthday. She had Juvenile Huntington’s Disease, a particularly vicious form of the disease.  

A few months later, she lost her dad.   He fought the disease for many years with much courage and dignity.  Jane's eldest brother is fighting it.   At some point in the future, she will face it head on.

We don’t know what the future holds but there is optimism. Huntington's is a genetic disease and many of the breakthrough developments in medical research have been in the field of genetics. But we’re not there yet.  Money funds research, and research is what will beat this thing.  Lets find a cure.
