Event: Dance 100, on 14 May 2023
Dance 100 is Scottish Huntington's Association flagship event for Huntington's Disease Awareness Month 2023. Our dancers will be hitting Glasgow's George Square for this 100-song dance challenge to make life better for Huntington's disease families.

Story

We are dancing and raising funds to help reach families across Scotland and work towards the day when the Huntington's community has all the care and support it needs. Will you help?

People impacted by Huntington's disease need specialist services to cope with severe and complex symptoms, the impact on families, and a lack of awareness and understanding about this devastating condition.

Your donation will help Scottish Huntington's Association to reach every Huntington's family through their Huntington's Disease Specialists, Financial Wellbeing Officers and Specialist Youth Advisors.

Huntington's Disease is a hereditary condition that stops parts of the brain working properly over time. Whilst there are several ongoing medical trials, there is currently no cure or way to stop the disease. More info here: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/huntingtons-disease/

Derek's Aunt Margaret sadly died from HD in 2017. Margaret's daughter, Carolyn, who was the full-time carer to her mum, took the brave decision to be tested shortly after her mum's passing. Unfortunately, she too has inherited the same faulty gene - and will therefore at some point develop HD.

We want to do everything we can to raise money for the SHA Charity (https://hdscotland.org) - to help support families affected by Huntington's, and do everything we can to find a cure!

Please give whatever you can to help this fantastic charity.

Keeeeep Dancing!
