Living with Huntington's Disease is hard enough

Having the wrong chair makes it even harder.

Huntington's is a degenerative disease that takes away your bodily control. The right chair gives someone living with Huntington's Disease the support, comfort and safety they need to get through each day.

Your donation will allow us to provide the right chair for those who need it most.

 

What is Huntington's Disease?

Huntington’s Disease is an inherited disease affecting areas in the brain which control movement, thinking and emotion. It has a slow progression, and symptoms gradually worsen over time. While there is no cure for Huntington's Disease at this time there are medications and therapies that may alleviate some of the more common symptoms of the disease.

The impact on a family of even one person with Huntington’s is significant, and more commonly, there are a few people across generations who inherit the gene. For this reason, the Huntington’s campus is not only about the people who we provide direct care for, but also their immediate and extended families.
