Hi,
Colin and I are walking 26 miles in one day to raise money for the Huntington’s Disease Association Northern Ireland. As you all know it’s a charity close to my heart with my Dad passing away from the cruel disease eight years ago. As a lot of charities are struggling at the minute we wanted to do something to help the HD families. Thank you for your support.
Huntington's Disease (HD) is an inherited disease with symptoms, usually starting at mid-adulthood, causing a progressive loss of control over thoughts, feelings, behaviour, movement and communication until the person requires 24-hour care. Every child conceived naturally to a parent with HD has a 50% chance of inheriting the disease. There are over 150 families affected by HD in Northern Ireland and currently no cure.
