My name is Richard Tranchida, & I have Huntington’s Disease. I am 48 years old, & I was diagnosed in 2018. I’m raising funds for my care.
HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE
For those of you not familiar with Huntington's Disease, it is a rare neurodegenerative disease that kills brain cells over many years. It initially impairs mood and cognitive thinking. It then gradually begins to impair motor skills, coordination and normal verbal abilities, eventually rendering the person unable to walk or talk. Ultimately, full time care is required in the later stages. It is often compared to and described as the combination of some other familiar Neurological Diseases; ALS,Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's all simultaneously. The effects and symptoms of this deadly disease typically take hold between 30-50 years of age, with terminal effects happening within 10-15 years from onset symptoms.
Thank you in advance for your generosity in donating!
