    Um...at this point and time I don't want to be tested...I just don't think that I have the mental mindset to do that just yet...My dad, when he found out he had HD, it was a bad experience so it makes me even more nervous to do something like that...ya know? I saw that you are starting the testing process...what are you doing with that right now, if you don't mind me asking...

    That sounds good! I'm glad that you have support in your area...We have like a local support group here. Just having support helps me through a lot and fundraising ALWAYS helps to get awareness out! I think a cycling event would be an awesome idea!

    Hey! Thanks! The Conference was really fun! I went for the first time this summer! I got to know a lot of different people from all over the US that has dealt with HD and it was really neat to meet people who have kind of gone throught the same thing that I have! Are you involved in any groups or stuff like that dealing with HD?
