Huntingtons Disease
 

As a few of you may know my brothers wife is afflicted with this terrible disease. Her children my nieces (3) and nephew have a %50 chance of having the same fate as their mom. In the past some of you have donated to the cause and even more of you prayed for my family. Well your donations and prayers have helped...here is the first good news in the treatment and possible prevention..

My niece Nicole posted this on her Facebook page

There isn't always a lot of good news to share when it comes to Huntington's Disease, so when I tell you that the e-mail I got this morning announcing the completion of the very first successful clinical drug trial to actually treat HD made me cry the GOOD way, you know this is huge.

Please know that all of the coffee money, spare change, time and support you guys have offered to this cause in honor of my family is the reason I get to type this today. I've spent 15+ years alongside my beautiful siblings, terrified of our future, but soon we very well may not have to be and it's all thanks to you. #teamhope



Thank you all and please continue to pray for my family💓💓💓

That's great news!! HD is in my wife's family and I'm sure this is a huge encouragement to all those suffering from this horrible disease !!
Praise GOD !!
