A Star For HD
The late John Ritter's son, Jason Ritter, is working on behalf of Huntington's Disease. No, it isn't in the Ritter family. His girlfriend and a friend both have it in their families.
It's wonderful to see celebrity support for Huntington's Disease. So many celebrities choose the "in" charity, but not one that needs a major celebrity (such as HD). I'm now a big fan. Here's the relevant excerpt from the article:
Ritter lives with his girlfriend, stage actress Marianna Palka, whom he met in New York City. And after becoming friends with 8 Simple Rules guest star Billy Brown (who played Kyle), Ritter started speaking on behalf of research to help cure Huntington's disease - which has affected Brown's and Palka's families. It is a genetic disease that causes degeneration of brain cells
"We want to get awareness out there and get stem-cell research," Ritter said.
We may want to let him know there is stem cell research and that there is other research that is VERY promising.
