Hunting Down Huntington's

Book excerpt: My book is targeted towards any individual who has been affected by Huntington Disease, professionals and families, patients and their caregivers. The key theme is the devastation caused by this rare and fatal diabolical disease, it describes the wider circle affected when this disease strikes and how various persons handle the news. Hunting down Huntington's also presents strategies that are beneficial in navigating through this disease process. The book aims to increase the awareness of this disorder and inform the reader of its origins, history and on going research. I would like the reader to take away. . new knowledge of the HD process . learn about the ongoing research . become involved in the larger HD community chapters . learn ways where they can contribute . have a greater awareness of this condition My book's objective is to raise awareness for this illness and to encourage people to become involved in the local chapters. My desire is to give hope and encouragement to affected families. I'm also directing all royalties from the book to THE HUNTINGTON'S SOCIETY OF CANADA. Reading and learning about neurological diseases is significant because it's already believed that if a cure is found for HD other neurological dementias could also be prevented. My book isn't a supplement for business or a course.
