Huntington's Disease

[LeeZenNi]

Good luck to you and your family. I hope someday we will be able to find a cure for this disease.

[TheTROUBLEMAKER1969]

My mom has it, she's in the hosp right now on life support because she choked on her food and was with out air for sometime that now the top part of her brain is gone. My brother wants to keep her on life support. I want her suffering to stop. This is where I am now. Its been 12 Yrs from when we found out about huntingtons.

[Blackduck46]

braveharty, I too was asked by my family "why always write sad poetry" So I wrote a nice humerous one. Result, my extended family thought "all was well" and support dropped off. Life is full on here but my heart will not have me any place else. The Services tell me my daughter is getting the best care possible being home with me and I would not have it any onther way. I feel for all the sufferers and their Carers/Family alike. I trust one day they will find a cure. Best wishes to all.

[americanpride296]

@Blackduck46 yesterday july 15 @ 8:33 pm i lost my big sister to this !!!!!!! disease that keeps haunting my family . I have lost my father grandfather two aunts and 4 cousins right now i have no words of wisdom or strength to share with anyone I AM ANGRY @ life right now and i am wondering WHY why why

[Blackduck46]

@americanpride296 I can fully understand your anger and I guess we have all been there.

I buried my beautiful wife of 30 years, (I had known her since she was three), her Father, and will be soon burying our 3 children. I no longer question why . I no longer get angry. A heavy heart only poisons the host andI need every day I can squeeze from life to help my children through. I learnt that forgiveness without boundaries is the answer to survive, especially for those ignorant. My condolences.

[mbmvcvdpzp]

Is it ok if i Favorited this? :)

[mbmvcvdpzp]

GUYS REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!! If your parents have this then you will most likely have it too! If they don't you won't! :) ITS LIKE A CHAIN!!!!!!!!!

[Blackduck46]

@mbmvcvdpzp It would be rare for both Parents to suffer from HD. You are at a 50-50 chance of inheriting the genes. Given that you have as much chance of being free of it as you have of getting it.

And it doesn't jump generations, you are either carrying it or you are not.

My 4 children were tested and 3 were positive, a bad result. The good that comes from testing is you

can then plan to eradicate it from your family chain. We, as a family, are not passing it on for others to suffer.

[mbmvcvdpzp]

@Blackduck46 mum says i havent got it

[Blackduck46]

@mbmvcvdpzp I hope she is right. As a parent i was told without the predictive test all parents could do is guess. But I was correct with the outcome on all occasions so I guess a parents gut feel is fairly sound.

You just know. So many small things make up the bigger picture. The test is necessary so as not to pass this horrible gene on for others to suffer. It affects not only the sufferer but the extended family and friends.Hard to face the test but the best way to go. All the best.

[MrQuackism]

I don't know what to say but I hope everything is alright for you. God bless you.

[urgurlshan]

post this link everywhere u can so that people will see ur pain. some people r unaware. some people think they have it hard but a healthy child or life should be all u want.

[MlssFrenchy]

Wow Bradly you just put tears in my eyes......im 50% for HD im Not Strong enough to get Tested so i live one day at a time and i aslo have 2 lovly growing up kids and 2 lovely grand kids....im now 43 years old and i have a big family my dad had 10 kids ....and i lost 2 sisters at the age of 32 and lossing more in the near future.....Sad How Cant Find a Cure...We are Loosing our Love Ones....

[MrQuackism]

@MlssFrenchy Stay strong.

[Edendale138]

I pray for your family and all those families in the world living with HD. My sister and brother both have the disease (both have children), so our family lives with it also. We pray for a cure, for a miracle. The years ahead will be hard - it's hard now but the future will be tougher so we are steeling ourselves for what lies ahead. May God bless and keep each and every person who has this insidious disease in their lives in one way or another. Love and light to all.

[Blackduck46]

Trust things are going as well as they can for you Bradly. Living with Huntingtons I rarely look for it on youtube but did so tonight and clicked on your posting only to see I was here a year ago. My daughter, now 40, did come home ten months ago and I care for her. She is in the final stages . My son , 29, is not handling it well and is very symptomatic. I too, believe there will be a cure or a manageable medication in the near future. Make the best of each day you can.

[eishiba10]

as a possible huntingtons carrier i don't mind videos and i don't mind music but this song makes one with huntingtons literally want to scream "how could this happen to me?"

[spazlover101]

its hard to deal with this kinda stuff. my mom currently has it and is in a nursing home cuz she cant take care of hreself anymore. and the only time she will be leaving is not a plesent ttrip out :(

[ilovebobthecat]

God bless you

[TwittyWhit07]

I came across your video today......my neice has Juvenile Huntingtons she's now 17......My sister put her video on youtube to raise awareness.....I love her to bits and am dreading the day we will lose her....Love To You All xx

[TheVolleyballgurl102]

MY Great Grandpa, My grandma, and my mom all have it.It is the saddest thing to have happen. I am so sorry for you and your family. I am only 13, so hopefully they will come with a cure before im mid age. again im so sorry and i know how it feels.

:(

[Hankandthetanktops]

i pray for God blessings to be with you and your family...

love

[xCrackup]

I can imagine how u feel .. It breaks my heart

But now there are treatments for HD.. maybe its not too late ..

Im from Germany, sry for my english..

God bless you and your family

[RealizeXRealXLove]

it's Hard To see this video. Because this song it belongs to disease no one can hear you scream even if when everybody is around you. and i choose this song for my mother when she died 2 years ago she had also this hard ugly disease and i have the disease too. and also my aunt. and my uncle. i don't know it's hard to understand. even if your standing next to a person with the disease!

RealizeXRealXLove

[harrisdurrani]

Great video Bradley.. i truly wish you and your family well.. My father currently has HD and is now completely bed ridden, my grandmother died with HD and so did my Grand Aunt. I was diagnosed with HD as well 2 days ago.. .. I won't get married because i don't intend to pass this disease any further.. it's going to be tough but your video gives us all hope

[ornella69100]

je rectifie en francais:

mon pere est mort de la maladie il y a 2 ans. Dans ma famille, personne n'a la maladie, heureusement. Courage

[ornella69100]

My father died two years ago. In my family, no one inherits the disease.

It's possible, courage and good luck! (sorry for my english, I'm French)

[katierbeers]

I agree with the first post. No one is going to understand like people who are suffering the same fate. But, I say this is a heartfekt and hopeful way! I was diagnosed with HD when I was 23...so I know how bad it blows,,,, the best thing we can do is rally around eachother, and offer support and love to the only ones who know what it's really like. Please contact me, I would love to know how you and your family are doing! You can find me on Facebook, look for Katie Beers, in Texas.

[zfot66]

Only people that have HD can truly understand what you are going through. The rest are just trying. I am 30 years old and my mother suffers from HD. I didn't get tested and I will not. I don't need this anxiety in my life since I can't do anyhting to stop it. Not to mention that I could dye from other things in the mean time. But we should all inform others for this disease. Here in Greece, noone knows it. It 's awful to have to explain again and again what it is. So pls try to be strong.

Zoi

[Blackduck46]

Wish i could sing. I had to settle for sad poetry written in my darkest hours. My wife Mary died of Huntingtons 10 years ago. I nursed her at home for the last 9 years of her illness. I knew her father who died of it. We had 4 children together. Three have tested positive. My eldest, now 39, is in the final stages and will be coming home to see out her final year(s) home with me. I have lived through 3 generations of this illness. I am now 63.

There will be no grandchildren to pass it on.

[shanti92]

God bless you and your family. I can only imagine how much you have seen and been through, stay strong, and thankyou for sticking through it all. I'm sure you must have a beautiful family who all must be so thankful to have you!!

proud of you

-Sonia

[TheVolleyballgurl102]

@Blackduck46 i am so sorry!

[urgurlshan]

@Blackduck46 be proud because very few could do what u have done... devoting ur life to others. xo

[braveharty]

@Blackduck46 hey there ;-) , you sure been through the wringer eh pal, hope your strength never leaves you.

i too have been through 3 generations off hd, me and my siblings being the third and now nearly facing a fourth, just you hang in there, and am feeling the sad poetry some amazing writings/poems/songs come out of the darkest moments, my sisters say " jamie can you not bloody write some happy poems for a change" lol.

god bless keep strong.....

[arabella2821]

my father has this disease, he is extremely ill. my uncles and aunt all have it and my cousins too. i will find out whether i have later in the year. my brother isn't going for the test as he hasn't got any children. i have two children. i am so sorry your brother and all your family have Huntington's x

[mzbiitch01]

my brother has this aswell

[vichumar59]

You are one of the persons who inspirate to doctors like me to study everyday 24/7 in order to find treatment for suffering people.

Science will find the solution ...

[medicalhakka]

Keep it up and maybe I might see you some day... (A Medical student)

[Bobroham]

@vichumar59 hey i'm a doctor toO!

[anniecash1]

You are so brave, I admire you. My dad died from HD 5 years ago. I got myslef tested last month and it was negative but my younger sister was positive . I hope for a cure soon, I truly believe in sience they must come up with something. Please do not lose hope. Hugs from Montevideo, Uruguay.

[Osmane82]

the only help is to pray to ALLAH and find the right way with the ISLAM! Study Islam Salam

[randallavenue]

Why do you come on here just to day that?

[randallavenue]

I mean say that?

[wrightsm05]

I am SO sorry to hear about you and your family! My sons grandmother died from Hunington's Disease. I am taking my son to get tested Wednesday. I couldn't imagine how tough it will be and is for you guys. I seen several videos on here and yours touched my heart. I will keep all of you in my prayers! I'm sorry.

[KATIAfoithtrioula]

im so sorry :(

[1993rain]

You are so brave to face your life...... Your video moves heart so deeply.

You are a hero, man.

God bless you and your family.

[maciu87]

anche nella mia famiglia ci sono casi di questa malattia, e anche fare il test è una cosa difficile...con affetto a tutti voi

[wiesecaterina]

My father died of it a few years ago and my sister and I now have it. If we had know earlier, I would never have had my daughter. Pray for us all.

[DRUCO316]

I will pray

[patrimorenaza33]

que video mas bonito mi madre tambien tiene esa maldita enfermedad mis hermanas y yo no sabemos

[1xashahleex4]

im so sorry. my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

[nutleyfan6294]

Man. I feel so sorry for you. Im doing a project on HD and this video is perfect for it. Whats the song you used for this video. i like it a lot.

[BethanyVenton91]

The song is, how could this happen to me - simple plan

[Melissace]

I truely feel for you...my family has also suffered at the hands of HD It started out of 7 kids my mom was the only one not to get the gene. She later died of cancer. I have lost 2 cousins and 1 is in the late stages. 3 other cousins have not been tested. I believe that 1 is in the ealry stages. and 1 just had a baby. I pray they find a cure for this horrid disease!

[bricker179]

Thanks for sharing. My mother lost her battle with Huntington's disease in 1992. I've been tested and I was lucky to not have it. My brother has not been tested and I don't think he will. So far he has no signs that he has it . I cried seeing your video becuase I know how hard it is dealing with this disease. It tore my family apart because my Dad did not know how to deal with it and mistreated my mother . I just want to let you know you have my love and support.

[qualqui]

My heart goes out to ya man,.....hopefully they'll find a cure,....as for that precious li'l girl of yours and her cousins, lets HOPE and PRAY they don't inherit HD. Peace and Respect and God help you!

[Badcat55]

Thanks for sharing. My family is also dealing with HD. My Mom has been progressing steadily with the disease (signs) for nearly 20 years. Recently 3 of my Sisters tested positive for it. )10 kids) Im not been tested but have signs that tell me I have it.I can't seem to deal with getting tested yet, but I know the outcome I suppose. Movements in my ankles, hands and my moods have been hi/lo lately. I can tell you my Mom, even has much has she has to bear Is an inspiration to all. Best of luck.

[merricleworker1]

Thanks for posting this video...I just found out in October that the love of my life - my fiance has been diagnosed with HD. He is the only unfortunate one out of 5 children. His dad was the only unfortunate one out of 6. It is rough dealing with this, knowing I will be marrying into this...but the disease seems to take those who are the most lovable. If I could only win the lottery and donate every penny towards a cure...

[qualqui]

merricleworker1: your heart is made of GOLD, lets pray modern medicine finds a cure and helps your fiance beat this so ya all will have a beautiful life!

[misswishstorm]

Hi merricleworker one : It is the same with me and my boyfriend . My father has HD and my grandpal and his eleven brothers all had HD all there children hae Hd . My boyfriend is aware of this .and he is totally supportive. Thats all you can do is just be there for the person and thats more then enough. take care

[merricleworker1]

misswishstorm,

I was sad to read how unfortunate your family has been. Thanks for the advice. Best of luck to you. Stay strong!

[latasharp]

I am so very sorry for all who are affected by this horrible disease, my heart truly goes out to you all...What I would like 2 know is what lead up to ur decisions 2 go & be tested? How are you all doing now? There is another genetic disorder that affects the men in my fam & I wonder if this could be another form of HD. My prayers r with you all. Thanks 4 the video!

[merricleworker1]

latasharp - my fiance wanted to get tested for me, not himself. He wanted me to know what I would be marrying into. I am glad that we know. Now we can have planned pregnancies, he can be a participant in studies to race for the cure, and we can prepare for the future. Knowing has not split us apart, if anything, it has brought us closer together. Now we must simply live life to the fullest. I find myself being greatful for every day that I get to spend with him. Loving him even more...

[jls197929]

Mom just told about you guys and I was in shock. You may not remember me but I am Jennifer Stokes. I will be keeping you in my thoughts.

[sstr7016]

my ant has died of it and I think it is grate what you are doing.

[xxsquiglexx]

My teacher put this up in class.

We had just been told about HD, most of us never heard of it/didnt have a clue what it was.

She explained how it happens. The affect ect. Every1 busy writing info down.

But it wasnt until we saw this did we actualy realise how real it is.

By the end the class was in silence. It touched alot of people.

Im letting you know so that you can see your post is definatly getting the disease known out there.because of your post that class will never be forgoten

[Alwaysdreaming101]

5 years ago one of my best friends was diagnosed with HD. 3 years later another best friend of mine has a brother diagnosed with HD. 5 years and 1 day ago I had never even heard the word Huntington's disease! Let's make this terrible disease known and find a cure!

[qualqui]

neither had i heard of this disease,.....me thinks it needs more publicity like bradly's vid, no?

[hecticallaround]

God's grace and mercy surround and protect you all in your suffering, live your life with your head leaning of his shoulders until he released you and takes you with Him home.

[samael1981]

For those of you with Huntingtons disease, how does it make you feel when perfectly healthy people totally and completely waste their lives doing drugs or ending up in and out of prison?

[geegeehd]

It hurts! But, they don't know what they have because they haven't lost it.

I used to be in a hurry and was also obcesssed with things that didn't matter. I'd like to have a cure---if everyone else could have one too. I can't think of anyone I'd trade places with though. I love my family so much!

Brad's mom

Brad's mom

[bradly2072000]

Love you too mom, with all my heart!

[latasharp]

Thanks for the video. May God bless all of those who are affected by this disease, may he strengthen you and comfort you in your time of need. I pray that there may one day be a cure and that many lives will be saved. My love and blessings to you all!

[marygenna]

i see it has been some time and no one has posted to you. I was diagnosed in 1997. I wasted much of my life just as you speak about. but in 1987 Jesus became real to me. so and all the pain the world has to offer, my heart breaks for the pain of a lost soul. this walk is difficult-I cry out to the Lord give your life to Jesus, God Bless you for your heart of compassion for people who suffer.

[jo250375]

And while they do that I will grow and flourish and make the most of this blessing I have been given, because of this disease I am grateful for every moment and I hope that you to find this peace.

[jo250375]

I can't change when the darkness will consume me, but I can make the most of every moment until then, and maybe if I fight hard enough and everyone else who is in this same position fights hard enough then people will hear this, and people will see this debilitating un-relentless disease for what it is, and start to put money into finding a cure.

[jo250375]

Even if this is only to be one more day, or one month. I am going to choose to make the most out of each day. It's not easy and it's not ideal, but I am going to fight, that's the most respectful thing I can do for my family, my dad no longer can, and my brother fights every day in a different way, so who am I to just sit back and let this devour me.

[jo250375]

I to have been diagnosed with the hd gene. I have a brother who is in the last stage now, and has been living with this for 2years. My father is dead from this disease and my aunt has just been diagnosed also. My brother can no longer feed himslf or walk. But I can. I can choose everyday to not let this get the better of me. I choose everyday to fight, and try not to let this thing take me down before I have lived my life.

[oscaandchloe]

Until i married my husband in 1975, i hadnt a clue about h.d. since then i have nursed my muminlaw,i now nurse my husband and i'm selfishly hoping that god will be kind and let it pass my three children and three grandchildren..............ple­ase pray for everyone who is suffering this killer illness,it shows no mercy thats for sure.......

[israelword]

takes only a moment to learn in your head that you have HD but takes years to learn in your heart that you have it. And thats what you and I still have to do.

[marygenna]

I know what you mean. I was tested in 1997. my faith in Christ cushioned the blow (though I knew it was going to be a positive hd)but over the years,while walking it out i find it is more and more a heart issue. had to leave my job working with youth and go on disability. Yet the Lord is real and He sustains me. i still have fear,depression and more. it says in the Bible in one of the psalms "He sustains me on my sickbed,He heals me on my sickbed." Christ living on the inside is the living hope.

[forthelongrun]

I am living with a father with HD. Also my brother has the disease, my sister and I are one of the lucky ones......I feel so alone in this it is so great to come on here and see and read others stories Thank you

[jym092000]

powerful and honest video.Thank you for being able to share this,beautiful family you have, and heartbreaking to know it affects whole families.

[madrywallmike10]

Thank you so much Bradly for your video

Please know your Family is much bigger than you know.

Your Family is always in our Hearts & Prayers,

We love you guys.

Mike & Raima

[britskin88]

im 38 and have the gene for HD.my mother died at 47.well most of my family died of it in there late 40s

[SweetStrawberry26]

OMG this is so sad!:(

I feel so bad for you....it almost made me wanna cry:(

[plistumi]

Great video. To those at risk, please use genetic counseling. Try not to pass this terrible fate to your children.

[sabraelluver]

Wow, amazing video!! I pray a cure will be found soon =)

[fragomatago]

I work in a ward that has both a brother and sister in their late 50's who have the illness. i feel for them and thank god that i dont have huntington's. my heart goes out to all those with family who have inherited HD and i feel for those who have the potential of recieving such an illness. one thing is for sure, i am confident that they will find a cure for HD in the near future.

[adamrnaigjr]

My prayers are with you bradly2072000 and to your family too. God still loves you.

[monabear1]

My Family too, has been struck by this HORRIBLE DISEASE. I lost my Grandmother and my Father to Huntington's. Now I live with the fear that I may have passed this on to my Sons or that me and my sisters will become sick. I refuse to be tested because I don't want the results to alter the way I live my life. I just Pray that a CURE is found in time to SAVE US ALL. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS and thank you for sharing your story.

[InfantLoss1092]

Your Video touched my heart. My heart goes out to you & your family, I am pregnant and the father of my child is at risk for Huntington's Disease. He has not been tested and does not plan to, His mom passed from the disease. The Dr.s will not let me test my baby to see if he/she has inherited the disease because the dad has not been tested and if my baby were to have it that would disclose his medical info. I wish you & your family the best {{{HUGS}}}

[sweetpea1189]

Such a moving video.I am a student nurse currently at a hospital in London,England nursing patients in the late stages of HD. It is such a cruel disease, so my thoughts and love are with you and your family. Even though the patients where i am are in the late stages, we as nurses makes each day a special day for them. They are able to enjoy acticities and trips, they even laugh at me when im singing to them! bless them!now you must enjoy life to the max with your loved ones, god bless you xx

[Imperfectionated]

God bless you and your family.

[Singingirllie88]

That is horrible! Im so sorry. I cried. I don't know why I keep watching videos about this, I keep crying. May God help help your family through this. <3

[joeydnyy]

I seriously just broke down and started crying....I'm a 15 year old boy a d my father was just put in a nursing home because he has HD....I don't know if I have the disease yet but I pray to god every night that I don't and that a cure will come for this terrible disease....I wish u the best of luck...I'm so sorry

[tabirocksmysocks]

im sorry that stuff like this happends to good people!

im sorry for you and your family and i wish you the best of luck !

hopefully they can find a cure for you and your family !!!

you guys deserve the best along with everyone else with the disease!

no one deserves to be that way

[zeronautica]

every day i pray for the news of a stem cell breakthrough for Huntington's before its too late for my beautiful cousin and all fighters of the terrible disease..

[BrownEyedbballer18]

oh my gosh, this is so sad, im so sorry. I wish you comment back to me. god bless you

[dkdev05]

I find myself watching your video over & over again It is like looking in a mirror My brother just got diagnosed 3 wks ago (age 31) because of some symptoms. I (27) have the same debate with myself everyday Do I want to know my fate and/or the fate of my children I understand what you and your family is going through. It sure does make life seem unfair I can only hope and pray for stem cell research to advance so families such as ours don't have to go through what we are going through

[jeffallisondesign]

I feel for your family. I do not have it myself but I am very aware of the pain caused by HD and the effect knowing you have it has on a person. Or the fear of knowing a child may have it. Thank you for shareing your story with the 6000+ that have viewed this video and may now know more about HD because of it.

[Falbala06]

I'm really sorry for you.

[naniiszh]

Gosh...This video really shok me... Don't give up and enjoy every minute, i'm sure the cure is gonna be discovered. My best wishes for you and your family from Mexico =D

[pray4HDcure]

I just found out a beautiful friend has HD. I cried through your video and the other HD ones posted here. I will pray every day for a cure to be discovered, and for miracles. I pray God's peace will give you strength and help you to never lose HOPE. Thank you so much for posting this video. God bless you!

[iamsweetT]

My husband suffers with HD, his sister also, his dad dies 12 year ago with HD, his aunt has HD, his couson has HD. We have six children--all have chosen to wait to be tested until symptomatic at the advice of the neurologists who cares for all the family. You are always in my thoughts are prayers.

[momskippers]

Please send your video to Oprah. I have been trying to get her to do a show to raise awareness since my brother was diagnosed in 1999. My sister followed and then both my brothers daughters. Your video is so powerful. God bless you all.

[kirstypagan]

As the last comment said don't give up hope,

I am a psychology student in my last year of university and have just spent the last 3 months doing a big project on HD.I picked HD to study as my gran had it.

I have now read a million academic journals about it, and they are predicting a cure or at least a way of slowing down the disease by 2012. This may not help your mum but at least if your kids inherit the disease there will be a cure or treatment which really helps. x

[FYVKVKVKVKVKVK]

Your video is very powerful. Don't give up hope! There are many new things being discovered. You may have many healthy years yet and a treatment may be found in time for you and your daughter. I wasted many years worrying and I am still healthy.

[tonisurman]

First I would like to wish you a Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. You put together a beautiful informative video!..unfortunately my son married a woman whose entire family has HD..she gave birth to twins[boy/girl] over a year ago with a donor egg!..we have healthy happy children, but their Mom is quickly deteriorating..God bless you and yours..

[detachedlegs2]

This made me cry. I am at risk too. I have 5 brothers and sisters!

[slapfacefilms]

It seems that you and your family have a long road ahead. I pray that God sees you through it and that you all find your way to him if you haven't already. A disease as horrible as Huntington's can shake even the strongest of faiths, but our time here is short and life continues far beyond the reaches of any disease or any death.

[debza3]

Hoi Debby and I am come from the Netherlands. By seeing your clip, I have the tears let go , Unfortunately, there is still nothing to do. My mother diagnosed in 2001 of this terrible disease. She is now in the final phase of her illness. Your movie has caught me very, very beautiful. I hope that your brother has not! I wish you lots of happiness and love. I am convinced that if you have both, you have a much more positive through life. Love debby

[dead1aim]

just saw your video and its just sad.you must be a real strong person to live with the fact,that you will get those symptoms in a few years and someday it will get worse. its hard to put all this into words.we just delt with hd in our bio."leistungskurs"and our teacher sent us your link.i hope you and your family will get through all this trouble as well as possible;thought i know it must be hard to know that you will have such a live. may your friends stick to you.

God bless you!

[bluejeanss]

i m really sorry to hear that but if had that disease and found positive i would'nt give birth to another human being to suffer the same thing even if there is 50% chance of getting that disease

[woodworm76]

there's a fairly good chance that the disease will be treatable by the time these kids are old enough to develop symptoms (unless it's the juvenile form)

[daniellebabesss]

This Is Awful..

Had A Tear

You Have It..Your 23..Thats Awful..

Hope Your Family R Okay

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[darylcarolynpopp]

your video is wonderful. My mom and 3 aunts died from this. My grandfather and 3 of his sisters, my great grandfather, and 1 of his sisters, and coming from my great, great grandmother. I've traced these siblings who had HD in all these generations. I have an 8 generation family tree, showing and even 40 people who had or currently have HD. Such and evil monster!

Your video is beautiful! I have really done some searching into our family geneology. In 8 generations, there are and even 40 people who have had or currently have HD. Such a wicked monter! Blessings to you and your family. We must keep a positive attitude!

Thank you so much. Your family is beautiful.

I am affected by HD. My father in law was diagnosed in 2001, my wife in 2003, my brother in law in 2003, and my other brother in law committed suicide in 2004. I have 4 children all have a 50/50 risk. Its a horrific thing

[XXXaccordXXX]

Im not affected by this disease directly! I dont have it, nor has anyone in my family had it! Im just doing a presentation on it! All I have to say is wow! Horrible how it can strike after you already have a family and your life is good. God Bless

Thank you for making this video. It had me in tears. I don't have Huntington's nor do I know of anybody that does have it. I am in Nursing School and we just talked about HD last week. I'm so sorry that you and your family are going through this. I wish there was a cure for everything. God bless!

I am so sorry for your pain, my husband and son have hd.

I ahve 5 other children at risk ages....26,25,15,11,13,9

we had no idea it ran in his family.

It took my husband who missed his children growing up as he has been in a nursing home since Isaac was 2 , he is 9 now.

the kids dont have dad at a ball game or school meetings....

but we grab life and make memeories and go on.

God bless you and your family. You've made a beautiful tribute.

Thank-you so much for posting this video. I am 32 & was diagnosed as HD+ in April of 2005. It has been an uphill battle trying to cope with all the thoughts, feelings & emotions that come along with this devestating disease. Anyway, thanks again. I would love to chat with you about how you are dealing with this matter.

[jlaminar]

Thank you for making this video. It is very powerful.

My Mother has HD and I have 9 brothers and sisters. So far only 2 have been tested and we are 1 yes, 1 no. I just can't get myself to find out about myself.

Your video made me smile and cry.

xoxo

Iam Spanish, my father and my eldest sister died, of Huntingtong disease, and one month ago, I have been diagnostised with HD, Iam just 22

[momskippers]

Your video is so powerfu. God bless you. I am the healthy one of three children (my brother and sister have HD, I have not been tested) Can you forward this to Oprah -I have been trying to get on her show to raise awareness and $. She needs to see your beautiful faces and beautiful babies. I know a cure can be found if we can raise the money.

[Alexiss16]

I am so sorry. It is unreal to think this just hits you. I am getting tested next month. Our family has not been lucky. I have 2 young kids. I am praying for luck. I act strong, thanks for giving me a minute to cry alone and yet not feel so alone. God Bless.

My GF lost both her older siblings to JHD and now we are living thru hers.This has truly ruined our lives and continues to do so.

[interstellarmatter]

Great video! My mom is in the mid-stages of Huntington's disease. So many other members of my family have been effected. I had tears in my eyes watching your video.

Keep up the faith, remember you're not alone!

[monkeyhanger7516]

[geegeehd]

Brad,

You are an inspiration. I'm very proud of you. I love you!!!  Mom

[MultiModality]

My mother-in-law has HD and my wife is setting the stage for her to move in with us. I figured I better learn about the disease. It was a real eye opener.

I thought I would post a link to my research for anyone that wants to read more about it. It's free, or course.

Awesome video, Bradly. Thanks for sharing.

Very powerful, Bradly, especially if people listen to the words of the song as well as reading the text. Thanks for adding another video to the growing collection.
