| Introduction | I am a stay at home caregiver along with my mother, we take care of my father and brother who have Huntington's disease. HD is a neurodegenerative brain disorder that causes a person to lose the ability to control their body (speak, talk, and walk) and lose their ability to live independently of others care. I an an HD Advocate, Clinical Diplomat, NYA Vice President, Affiliate Chair, Caregiver, and recently tested negative for Huntington's myself. My whole life and world revolve around HD and I wouldn't have it any other way. It is time to stand up and speak out about HD! |
