Bringing and Creating Awareness about Huntington's Disease and its Community to Infinity and Beyond. Read, Learn, Talk about Huntington's disease today to everyone everyday. Huntington's Disease (HD): is a nasty hereditary, degenerative Brain disorder which has No Cure. As brain cells die HD slowly takes away an person's ability to walk, talk, think and reason. Eventually, a person becomes totally dependent upon others for her/his care, while being fully aware of their decline. All Races, Females, Males and Children are suffering through HD on average of 15-20 years. HD is a Family disease, which means, if a parent has HD then All the children are "at risk" of having the disease. Not like a cancer when only 1 person gets "it" and everyone else rallies around to get through "it", When 1 parent has HD, then many of the children will suffer from HD "at the same time" during their lives together, leaving no-one really to care for them destroying the Family unit. Certain death follows from complications like choking, heart failure or infection because at this time there are no treatments, no therapies no cure. Only You Can Help Us Boost Awareness About Huntington's Disease. Thank you so very much.
