A video made to celebrate 100 countries now having viewed Sue Wright's and James Valvano's internet Huntington's Disease awareness materials, achieved on 1st August 2011, thanks to everyone's support. Our mission continues.......
Huntington's disease is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder that typically strikes in a person's thirties and leads to death about 10 to 15 years later. No effective therapy exists for the disease. Jan Nolta, director of the UC Davis Stem Cell Program and Institute for Regenerative Cures, has a CIRM Early Translational Award to develop stem cell-based therapies for Huntington's disease. Series: "California Institute for Regenerative Medicine"…
From the International Operations Director - James Valvano:
"The Faces of Huntington's Disease: I am No Longer a Faceless Face" focuses on the personal stories of the international Huntington's disease community. The film is the first of its kind, created solely by individuals within the JHD/HD community, and a legacy for future generations.
If not now, when? If not you, who?
Gene-positive Huntington's disease blogger Gene Veritas interviewed Jane Kogan, the advocacy manager for the Huntington's Disease Society of America, about the Huntington's Disease Parity Act of 2011, a bill in Congress that would make it easier for HD patients to obtain federal benefits. The interview took place at HDSA headquarters in New York City on May 19, 2011. Gene blogs at www.curehd.blogspot.com. For more on HDSA advocacy, visit www.hdsa.org.
Woody Guthrie is still the lone face of Huntington's disease more than 40 years after his death. This video was made to help change that, and made more aware of this fatal illness that needs a treatment and cure.
Jake asked me to post this video to share it more widely. This is his description:
"This is a video documentary of my father's experience dealing with the terminal genetic neurological disease known as Huntington's. It gives his accounts of dealing with the disease, as well as my brother's feelings of being at risk, and my mother's experience as being a caretaker for someone with Huntington's Chorea. If you would like to know more you can go to…
Huntington's disease, which is often called HD, is an hereditary degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. It used to be known as Huntington's Chorea or HC. Huntington's disease usually develops in adulthood although it can develop in children (juvenile HD) or the elderly, and it causes a very wide range of symptoms. The disease affects both males and females.

This channel aims to improve Huntington's Disease awareness.
Just think about it… What if you were trapped under something heavy and the mouse was out of your reach? Scary, right? That's exactly why we have these keyboard shortcuts so you can still use Vimeo until the help arrives.
