Event Details

Event details will not be announced until the full lineup is announced.  For now, I will explain to you what Huntington's Disease is, which is the reason I'm putting this together in the first place.

What is Huntington's Disease?
Huntington’s Disease (HD) is an extremely devastating, neurological disease that affects one in every ten thousand people. To date there is no treatment and no cure for HD.
This genetic disease, on average, results in death twelve to fifteen years after the onset of symptoms in adult patients.
Although most persons with HD develop symptoms in mid-life, about 10% of people who inherit HD, will have the juvenile form of the disease(JHD).  Parents who daily care for children with JHD will experience the development of symptoms at an accelerated and elevated rate.
Symptoms usually appear during the middle of people's lives, between the ages of 40-45.  The symptoms start with depression and severe mood swings that affect not only the individual, but anyone they may come into contact with.  Next, the disease eats away at the cortex of the brain that is vital to memory, speech, and basic motor functions, such as walking.

At about seven years after the onset of symptoms, the HD patient can no longer control the movement in their arms, legs, or neck.  This tragic symptom, called chorea, causes the extremities to spasm constantly, making it nearly impossible for a once fully functioning human being to take care of themselves.  Because of this, family members or paid workers are tasked with non-stop care taking.
