Sinopse
Kinser became more involved with both HD and JHD after her daughter Meaghan passed from JHD after spending four months in the hospital, with doctors unsure about how to help her. Kinser lost her husband to HD shortly after she lost her daughter. While Meaghan was in the hospital, Kinser enlisted local news teams and radio stations to do programs to raise awareness for JHD. The local radio station had Kinser on their morning talk show to speak about JHD. When Kinser lost her daughter and her husband within just a couple of months of each other, she decided it was time to work on starting a nonprofit business in memory of her daughter, “Meg's Fight 4 a Cure, Juvenile Huntington's Disease Foundation, Inc.” Kinser says, “I was appalled at the lack of medical services and places available for children/teens her age that had illnesses that the medical community couldn't handle. Especially JHD. I wanted to raise money for researchers to continue working on medicines and hopefully a cure for this horrible disease
