On Friday 27th February I am doing a massageathon to raise money for Huntington's Disease Association! All proceeds from booked massage treatments that day will go to this charity so close to my heart!

By wearing odd socks to help raise awareness of the 50/50 odds of inheriting Huntington’s. I would really appreciate it if any of my clients booked in this day can wear odd socks.🥰 I will also be doing a cake sale!

My Dad and other close family members have Huntingtons disease and not only does/ has it affected them, it affects their family and the support network around them.

The symptoms usually start between 30-50 yrs old but can be much earlier or later. They gradually get worse over time and is usually fatal after a period of up to 20 years.

Depression; concentration; memory lapses; stumbling and clumsiness; involuntary jerking or fidgety movements of the limbs and body; mood swings; personality changes; swallowing problems; speaking and breathing and being mobile are all symptoms. This brain neurological disease not only affects motor (movement) it affects logical thinking, moods, emotions etc.

At the minute there is no cure, but we have hope and they can treat the symptoms to try and slow down this progressive disease.

Research is continuing in the hope to find a cure and each year there is new research that gives us a bit more hope.

The HDA also help support anyone who has Huntingtons and carers, family members who have been affected.
