Huntington's disease is a family disease... The person with HD, the children of a parent, the siblings, the spouses, the family members, all become the caregivers in some way. I am the child of a parent who had HD, the sibling to a brother with JHD, and a caregiver. Huntington's disease may affect my family, my life, and my day to day, but because of it I am stronger than I have ever been, and braver for it.

Team Hope Walk was a SUCCESS!!
TEAM MABRY!
Today was our first annual walk in Albuquerque, NM for Huntington's Disease! We had 90 people register with 35 volunteers! We were told that this was the biggest showing for a first walk!
Can't wait for next year all ready!!
I also filled out my papers for NYA (National Youth Alliance) which is a section of the HDSA for the youth sector. I've been asked to lead NM's NYA if I can be accepted to be a part of it. But it's not just NM its the entire Rocky Mountain Chapter, which includes Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. This would be so great to do, and I can spread the word and inspiration! Plus have the opportunity to go to the annual HDSA Convention.
Till next time!!
