Story
The Huntington's Disease Association supports anyone who is affected by Huntington's disease across England and Wales. We pursue the best possible care; provide training & advice to families and professionals; raise awareness, and promote research towards better treatment and care.
Huntington’s is a rare incurable disease – approximately 8,000 people in the UK are currently living with the condition and a further 32,000 are at risk of developing it. It has a devastating impact on families, particularly in the latter stages when people need full-time nursing care.
The disease affects your nervous system which impacts your movement, behaviour and cognitive function.
