A member of the Supertalk Family is doing everything she can to raise awareness of Huntington’s Disease research, and we want to help her in any way we can. Heather Thurgood is member of the Supertalk team in Brookhaven, and her husband Nathan was diagnosed with Huntington’s. If you aren’t familiar with Huntington’s, imagine ALS, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s rolled into one, but there is hope! Medicine has improved enough in the last 30 years to hopefully have a medication that could slow or stop the progression of Huntington’s Disease in the next few years.
You can hear from Heather and Nathan as they tell their story below –
