Story

David will be doing the GNR and Oliver will be doing the Junior GNR in September 2023, to raise money for the Huntington's Disease Association.

Laurence, Oliver's dad and David's brother in law, lived with Huntington's Disease (HD) for 9 years. He fought hard but sadly died in March 2023. We are doing this for him and every other person affected by this horrific disease.

Laurence loved sport, music, travelling and - more than anything - his family. This is for him and everyone who loved him.

Anything you can spare will be much appreciated - even just a share so more people know more about HD will be appreciated.

Thank you for joining our Great North Run #TeamHDA and supporting our work. Fundraisers like you help us to support people across England and Wales affected by Huntington's disease.
