Boston Globe Article
Nice article from the Boston Globe on Huntington's Disease. The article is highlighting an annual HD fundraiser that has, so far, raised over $350,000 for medical research.
You know the article's writer, Kay Lazar, understands something about the disease when the article starts with:
Tina Boyer was scrambling after her 3-year-old son two weeks ago when she stumbled and fell. It's nothing, the Haverhill mom told herself.Still, she couldn't stop herself from wondering. Is this the first symptom?
An insidious disease is steadily robbing Boyer's mother, once a vivacious woman, of her ability to walk, talk, think, and even swallow. Boyer, 34, doesn't know when the disease will start gnawing at her, too.
But she knows it will.
