Today I sit down with Londen and her daughter Autumn to talk about Autumn's life since her diagnosis with Juvenile Huntington's Disease. Before editing, this was a 3 hour conversation! We had so much fun. We laughed, we cried, but most of all they were so open and vulnerable. JHD is an even rarer form of Huntington's--an already incredible rare disease. Any way that they can find to spread awareness: they do. They never stop fighting. Londen and Autumn have an impressive 75,000+ viewers on their joint TikTok account where they speak about life with JHD and work to both educate and reform thought on JHD.
I hope you enjoy our conversation.

Today I am joined by one of my dear friends, and fellow Huntington's Disease Advocates, Kyra Ashley Clarke for the second time. She was our first podcast guest, a Champions for HD Ambassador, and our current 2020 Champion for HD. Ashley was inspired to begin her blog #ImNotDrunkLifestyleBlog after her father, who suffers from HD, was mistakenly called out in a crowd by a stranger for being "horribly drunk." Now she uses her blog as an outlet for her own mental health and as a learning tool for those who are misinformed about Huntington's Disease.Follow Ashley:

Today we are deep diving into potential benefits of getting tested for Huntington's Disease. This question was left as a comment on our social media post today and it gave me the idea to come on here and talk about what benefits I have found about testing myself. This is personal, please do make sure to seek help from a professional as well. Your genetic counselor and therapist are key resources to lean on before you go through the test results.
Thank you to the woman who left the comment on our post. You inspired this episode! I hope you find this helpful.

Welcome back to the show. I first want to apologize for the delay in episodes. I ended up coming down with COVID a few weeks ago and I had it pretty badly. Thankfully I am feeling much better now, just fighting off severe fatigue, but I hear that can last a while.Today’s guest really hit me in my emotions. Marie and her son Josh have been completely on their own for years now. Marie’s husband suffers from Huntington’s and has been in his later stages for a while now. Unfortunately he has distanced himself and cut off communication between Marie and Josh. Josh recently was diagnosed with Juvenile HD and it has been emotionally, physically, and financially taxing on them.
They live alone and have no outside support from either side of their family. When they reached out to Champions for HD through our help forum, she expressed they were in dire need of financial assistance due to having to live out of a hotel. With the pandemic, the traditional housing resources for these situations are shut down and on hold.
Thanks to your donations, we were able to raise $1,300 for them to help them pay for their entire next month of living expenses.
Despite these difficult circumstances, they both continue to fight. Marie is focused on being the best care giver she can to Josh and their story really hits the soul.
