Help 4 Hd Live!

Tuesday, April 14 - 3:30 pm The amazing, incredible, fantastic Jimmy Pollard is going to be with us tonight.  Jimmy has quite a speaking schedule these days and is on a mission to educate about clinical trials, namely Enroll HD (http://www.enroll-hd.org/), which is a worldwide observational study for Huntington’s disease families. This study will monitor how the disease appears and changes over time in different people, and is open to people who either have HD or are at-risk. Monitoring people over time in a real-world setting contributes to scientific knowledge. The study is designed to accelerate the discovery and development of new therapeutics for HD. Jimmy says, "No volunteers for studies, no more advances in the quest for a cure!" Enroll-HD Also find Jimmy's book on Lulu: "Hurry Up and Wait: A Cognitive Care Companion" (http://bit.ly/1DCUJmO) This book will give you a set of exercises to simulate the cognitive difficulties faced by those with HD, a collection of tips to accommodate them in your home
