Scottish Huntington's Association supports families impacted by Huntington’s disease (HD). 800 people in Scotland have HD with a further 3200 at risk of developing it in the future. HD impacts the ability to walk, talk and swallow, can cause mental illness and affects mood, memory and mobility.

Story

Are you looking to tick something amazing off of your bucket list, whilst raising vital funds and awareness for those who need it most? Look no further, because we DARE you to take on a challenge in aid of Scottish Huntington's Association!

By taking part in our Dare To Scare campaign, you will participate in at least one of the following events...

- Falkirk Wheel Abseil

- White Water Rafting

- Halloween Bungee Jump

By taking part, you will not only have an amazing experience, but you will be raising funds to help the charity continue to provide a life line service to families like Mike's.

Mike was 53 when he was diagnosed. The test result confirmed what he already suspected; symptoms were beginning to emerge, and Mike recognised the early signs all too well as both his late mother and his late sister had Huntington’s disease.

It meant giving up his job in the offshore oil industry and adjusting to the serious health changes that they both knew were ahead. Since then, Mike’s mobility and balance have deteriorated, and his speech is gradually becoming more affected. Mike and Jennifer are both supported by an HD Specialist.

“Mike just gets on with it, he’s a real inspiration to me and many other people because he’s a fighter through and through,” says Jennifer, his wife of 31 years. We’re a real team and are together through thick and thin.

I took early retirement from the local nursery so we could spend our time together.”

Our families know that Scottish Huntington’s Association is here for them, no matter what.

By taking part in our Dare To Scare campaign, you will be ensuring that the charity is able to continue to provide our specialist support. We can't do it without you.
