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

If you know me, then you know that the only time I run is to the car when it's raining... 

So to say this challenge of running the Great Wall of China Marathon is ambitious is an understatement!!  Not only is there 26.2 miles, but there is also 5164 steps involved!!!  Just check out the photos on this page!

So why am I putting myself through my own personal hell???

Huntington's disease is an incurable neurodegenerative genetic disorder that affects muscle coordination and some cognitive functions. 

Having seen first hand suffering caused to a person and their family when suffering from Huntington's Disease, I discovered my charitable side - hopefully you can all too and give generously to my cause.

I appreciate any support you can give.

Many Thanks

Gary
