My Relation to Huntington's Disease Supporter
Tell us about your experience with/connection to Huntingtons Disease

Having just joined the WeAre.Us team in San Francisco, I have been in contact with some very interesting people who are heavily involved with research into HD. I hope that together we can create a up-to-date portal of information relating to HD and that WeAreHD.org is the first place you come to for support and guidance with regards to HD. Please see my Bio below...

Quick Bio

Pleased to me you all!! I have recently joined the WeAre team in San Francisco having recently graduated from university in England. My new position as ‘Community Support Officer’ is all about creating wholesome dialogue between you, the users and the developers here at WeAre. This site is all about what the users need and want from these support networks and I will strive to make your voices heard. From now on you have someone who is dedicated to listening to you thoughts and suggestions and I urge you to get in contact with me anytime you feel it necessary. I’m really looking forward to hearing from you and am so excited about the potential WeAre.Us is showing.

Hope to hear from you all soon and can’t wait to hear your ideas!
