“Huntington Disease is known as the cruelest disease known to man.”
Description
May 18, 2018
Huntington Disease is a genetic brain disorder that affects one in every seven thousand people across Canada. They either have it, are at risk of developing it or are a caregiver to someone with the disease. Peterborough and area has one of the highest rates, per capita, of HD in the country. There is no cure.
Caley Bedore has more on what Huntington's is and how we can help.
