Huntington's disease is an all consuming genetic condition that affects whole families. Families that are fighting battles we can't even imagine.

Did you know that the breakdown of nerve cells in the brain means you lose control of your movement, memory and mood? During our May awareness month, we asked people to give 5 minutes of their time to get to know Huntington's disease.

How can you get involved?
