 Disease\n\nHuntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal genetic disorder that 
 causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It 
 deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities during their prime 
 working years and has no cure. Every child of a parent with HD has a 50/50 
 chance of inheriting the faulty gene. Today, there are approximately 41,000 
 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at risk of inheriting the 
 disease. The symptoms of HD are described as having ALS, Parkinson’s, and 
 Alzheimer’s – simultaneously.\n\nThe Huntington’s Disease Society of 
 America (HDSA) is the premier nonprofit organization dedicated to improving 
 the lives of everyone affected by HD. From community services and education 
 to advocacy and research, HDSA is the world’s leader in providing help 
 for today and hope for tomorrow for people with HD and their families. HDSA 
 was founded in 1967 by Marjorie Guthrie, wife of folk singer Woody Guthrie, 
 who died from HD complications at age 55. The Guthrie family legacy 
 continues to inspire HDSA’s mission today.\n\n
