At a Glance
What is Huntington’s Disease?
Huntington’s Disease is a degenerative brain disease that strikes in mid-life, usually between the ages of 30-40. People lose their ability to walk, talk, and even feed themselves. Even though people may live for 10-20 years with this disease, their quality of life is taken from them.
Who is Bev Hartig?
In 1998, about one year after getting married, Bev received a paralyzing phone call that her birth father had been diagnosed with HD. This meant every sibling had a 50% chance of inheriting this disease. She found out that she also carried the gene and would suffer the same tragic fate.
How We Help
Educate
The rarity of Huntington’s Disease means not many people know about it or how devastating it can be. We aim to raise awareness, and therefore support, to enable more funding and research opportunities.
Fund Research
Our funding arm seeks out cutting-edge researchers whose aim is to discover and develop drugs that retard the progression of Huntington’s Disease. We support research that would not otherwise be funded without us.
Believe
Huntington’s Disease is a horrible illness, but we remain optimistic that a breakthrough is on the horizon. It is our strong belief that a cure will be found, and future generations will no longer suffer from this disease.
Our Mission
Finding a cure and discovering treatments for Huntington’s Disease through the support of research.
