Our brother and friend Keith David aged 59 is suffering with Huntington’s Disease which he has endured for 10 years. Huntington’s Disease is not curable and much further research and support is required.

Keith has previously worked in the coal mines of North Staffordshire and lived locally. He has been a free spirit and lovable soul all his life and has a group of friends who he has known since school days.

Since his diagnosis, Keith has been supported by these friends and his brothers and sisters. Keith now lives at Beechwood Apartments, Newcastle under Lyme (Supported living), where he receives 24 hour care. The staff there are wonderful caring people who try to enable events taking place and day trips to help to break episodes of lonlieness for ALL residents at the location.

To enable support for the Huntington’s Disease Assocaiation (HDA) and the elderly tenants of Beechwood Keiths now very much older school/work friends are completing a 26 mile sponsored walk from Manifold Valley to Beechwood Apartments, Newcastle under Lyme on Sunday 3rd September 2023.

Any donations to support Keith, the Huntington’s Disease Association-and the elderly residents of Beechwood would be greatly appreciated.
