Fundraising for Huntington's Disease Association
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
"My motivation for running for the HDA is two fold. Firstly I was affected by working with a patient suffering HD when I was working as a care assistant aged 19. The gentleman was younger than any other patient in the care facility that I worked at many times that summer. The frustration that emanated from him was palpable as we looked after his care in the least furnished and largest of rooms. There were many things I learned about the human condition and disease that year and the effects of HD most certainly stood out among them. Secondly, as a research scientist I currently work on a HD based project, and so see regularly where research funding for this disorder are (and can be) well used."
