Huntington's Awareness Month

The Huntington's Disease Society of America is planning its annual Huntington's Awareness Month in September. This month-long campaign is designed to raise awareness about a rare neurodegenerative disease. Huntington's Disease is a disorder that causes problems with movement and coordination. The condition affects around 30,000 people in the United States. Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that can lead to uncontrolled movements, dementia, and death. There is currently no cure for HD, but there are treatments available to help manage the symptoms. The HDSA is working hard to increase awareness of HD and to support research into finding a cure for the disease. The HD Foundation provides information and support to families who are affected by the disease and works to ensure that people with HD have access to the best possible care.
