Memorial Day
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. Officially this day is to remember America's war dead, however it has become a day when families remember their lost loved ones.
Today is also the last day of Huntington's Disease Awareness Month. Unfortunately, many in our community are unable to discuss with friends and co-workers their struggles and losses in life due to HD. So many people struggle silently as they wrestle with this disease.
For those of you grieving today... may you find comfort and peace.
For those of you who can...do what you can to educate others about Huntington's Disease. The more people who are aware of the disease and the needs in the community, the more support we will receive.
To everybody...please contact your congressman and let him/her know that the House needs to pass the Genetic Anti-Discrimination bill so that this disease no longer has to remain hidden.
Best wishes and hope to all of you on this Memorial Day.
