Huntington's WA

Huntington's Disease (HD) is a hereditary neurological condition that leads to progressively deteriorating muscle co-ordination and cognitive ability, drastically impacting the quality of life of those who are symptomatic. However, the impact of this disease affects not just individuals, but also their carers, families and the communities they live in. There is still no cure for HD.

HWA aims to help provide those affected with the best possible quality of life and currently serves about 150 families affected by HD by providing the following :

Support groups (Youth, Gene Positive, Carers, Symptomatic)

Raising awareness and understanding about HD

Weekly day care centre

Financial assistance

Collaborating in research projects related to HD

Counselling for individuals and families

Information / education for families and health care professionals

Your donations will help us to continue operating these essential services and enrich the lives of those affected by HD
