On saturday the 23rd may 2009 I will be doing a parachute jump in aid of the Huntington's Disease Association. It is a charity close to my heart as my girlfriend kayleigh was diagnosed with the condition two years ago.  I am trying to raise as much money and awareness as possible for the vital support it gives families who are affected by HD, and hopefully a cure.

Huntington's disease, which is often called HD is an hereditary disorder of the central nervous system. HD is caused by a faulty gene on chromosone 4, the faulty gene leads to a damage of the nerve cells in areas of the brain. This leads to gradual physical, mental and emotional changes.                                                                                                                                                                                                      
Each person whose parent has HD is born with a 50-50 chance of inheriting the faulty gene. The symptons usually develop when people are between 30-50 years old, although they can start much earlier which is known as juvenile HD.

There is currently no cure!  it is always terminal
