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 Was 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.
