Sky Dive in aid of Scottish Huntington’s Association · 23 June 2018

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

Last year I decided to go for the gene test for Huntington’s Disease.  I was given the news that not only do I have the faulty gene, I am also currently symptomatic with the Junior form of the disease.  I lost my dad to this illness when I was barely 8 years old and  my uncle when I was around 12.  Thankfully I am the last member of my family who will get this illness.

After being told my diagnosis, I have made a list of things I wish to do whilst I am still well eniugh to do them.  Sky diving was one of them.  Whilst doing this sky dive I will be fulfilling one of my wishes with the added bonus of raising funds for the SHA who provide so much support to myself and my family ( the added bonus is that I get to scare the 💩 💩💩 out of my mum 😂😂 ).

Please help me to raise much needed funds to provide support to families like my own and also help me to score off one of my things to do whilst I am well list.
