Make sure your home's exits are wheelchair accessible, and practice emergency evacuation drills with your family and personal care attendant. Also, plan for accessible transportation in case you need to evacuate or get around during or after a disaster.   Prepare an emergency kit  Include items to meet your individual needs, such as extra batteries for your wheelchair, medications, and a medical alert system. If you are deaf or hard of hearing, you can include a weather radio with text display, extra hearing aid batteries, and a TTY. If you are blind or have low vision, you can include Braille labels or large print on your emergency supplies.   Register with your local emergency management office  Many cities and counties have voluntary registries for people with disabilities.

I have worked here for 8 years studying Huntington's disease using HD patient derived stem cells. During that time I have received funding from the Hereditary Disease Foundation and the Huntington's Disease Society of America. I graduated in 2015 with my PhD from Cardiff University and wanted to pursue research in Huntington's disease."  Gong-Her Wu bio: "In 2015, I proudly earned my Ph.D. from Tsing Hua University, marking a significant milestone in my academic journey. Subsequently, I had the privilege of joining the esteemed lab of Dr. Wah Chiu, where I expanded my expertise further and contributed to cutting-edge research. From 2019 to 2023, I was fortunate to receive support from the Hereditary Disease Foundation (HDF), a valuable recognition of my work's importance and potential impact.  Now, I am a research scientist at Stanford University, working in the esteemed lab of Dr. Wah Chiu.

I have worked here for 8 years studying Huntington's disease using HD patient derived stem cells. During that time I have received funding from the Hereditary Disease Foundation and the Huntington's Disease Society of America. I graduated in 2015 with my PhD from Cardiff University and wanted to pursue research in Huntington's disease."  Gong-Her Wu bio: "In 2015, I proudly earned my Ph.D. from Tsing Hua University, marking a significant milestone in my academic journey. Subsequently, I had the privilege of joining the esteemed lab of Dr. Wah Chiu, where I expanded my expertise further and contributed to cutting-edge research. From 2019 to 2023, I was fortunate to receive support from the Hereditary Disease Foundation (HDF), a valuable recognition of my work's importance and potential impact.  Now, I am a research scientist at Stanford University, working in the esteemed lab of Dr. Wah Chiu.

"Where is the book?" I asked the doctor. "What book?" he asked... "The book that tells me how to do this..."  I was 33 years old and my 35 year old husband lay in the bed, just pronounced brain dead. It was the most devastating loss I had experienced in my life. Through this unexpected blow in life, I learned many lessons that I did not want to learn, but I did learn something profound. I wanted to help other people through the horribleness of grief.  After doing much research on what type of certification I wanted to get in order to help people, I discovered the Grief Recovery Method website. I signed up for their certification program and became a Grief Recovery Specialist in 2016. The Grief Recovery Method is a practical, action based program that fit my beliefs and lifestyle. I have now helped over 150 people walk through the small and correct actions that allow people to come from pain to relief. I have heard over and over again how much of a life changing impact this program has had on a person's life. And I personally know the positive impact it has had on mine.  I currently live in the lovely hamlet of Mount Pleasant, NC and work in surrounding areas that include Concord, Charlotte, Matthews, Albemarle and other small towns around me. I have had the priviledge of working one on one with some people, I have taught "When Children Grieve" to staff at a local Christian School, I currently teach classes of 6-8 people based on the Grief Recovery Method, and one of my favorite classes to teach is the Pet Loss class.    I am also certified through the Grief Recovery Institute to teach the Grief Recovery Method over the internet using video technology, for those who want to recover from a loss in the comfort of their home! ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/help4hd/2022/08/18/grief-and-loss-with-louanne-stanton</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Aug 2022 20:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63400230/grief_and_loss_with_louanne_stanton.mp3" length="25879241" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Help 4 HD Live!</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Louanne's bio:   I stood at the foot of my husband's hospital bed...

Nicola is co-founder and trustee of the charity Teddington Trust, volunteering her time to drive forward their mission—supporting families living with the ultra-rare condition xeroderma pigmentosum. Nicola is also author of the award-winning rare disease children’s book series, Little Ted.

Chelsea's bio: I'm currently 22, and I'm in my final year studying Business Management and Psychology at the University of Aberdeen. My current job is a student notetaker, where I take notes for students with disabilities so they have sufficient notes for their studies. I am the Administrative Volunteer for Cards for Bravery, a non-profit organisation dedicated to brightening up the days of hospitalised children with an uplifting, handmade card. When I'm not working, studying or volunteering, you can see me be part of various communities on campus, such as editing for Her Campus (an online writing magazine), running the social media for the Economics and Business society and managing the table tennis club. Lastly, I love writing, where I write articles on topics I'm greatly passionate in, such as fighting against racism and advocating for the chronic illness and disability community.

Heart disease is the second cause of mortality from Huntington'sand patients present an increased incidence of heart failure and a smaller heart. This heart pathology will need solving to improve the longevity and quality of life of HD patients. Dr. St-Cyr will explore the contribution of two RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) in the HD-associated cardiac pathology. RBPs are responsible for regulating the RNA splicing of hundreds of genes, a phenomenon by which different proteins are produced from the same gene and serve different functions. CELF1 is responsible for heart splicing during development while MBNL1 does so in adulthood. Dr. St-Cyr hypothesizes that imbalance between these two RBPs is in part responsible for the HD heart pathology.

To prepare for a clinical trial of a drug that may reduce the disruptive aggressive  behavior that some persons or patients with HD suffer from, we would like to  interview about 25 caregivers who are parents, spouses, or adult children of  patients who have aggressive outbursts. We are specifically interested in trying to  build a list of words that can be used to describe these physically aggressive, acting  out, or other threatening behaviors.  The research is sponsored by Azevan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The interviews will be  conducted by Erin Koppel, who works at the Huntington's Disease Society of  America Center of Excellence at Georgetown University. We will provide a special  cell phone number that guarantees the privacy of the connection. The calls will be  voice recorded and transcribed so that they can be reviewed more easily. The  information that you provide will be stored in password-protected files at  Georgetown University. You must be fluent in English and at least 18 years old to  participate.  Participants that complete the full interview, which involves answering questions  about aggressive outbursts and related behaviors, will be compensated $50 for their  time and insight.

She leads a team of post-docs, students, and IT specialists, employing techniques from neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience to characterise the effects of neurodegeneration on cognition and brain function. Her research group is known for innovations in assessments using computerised and sensor-based approaches.     Professor Stout is a leading international expert in Huntington’s Disease. Her team has led the cognitive component of several large, international studies, which have described the cognitive, motor, psychiatric, and brain imaging changes in people with the Huntington’s Disease gene as they progress from normal functioning to manifest Huntington’s Disease. Professor Stout also led a 20-site international study that yielded the HD-CAB, which is now the standard cognitive assessment battery for clinical trials in Huntington’s Disease. Professor Stout also co-leads the Scientific Planning Committee of Enroll-HD, the largest ever study of people from Huntington’s Disease families, which has over 12,000 participants globally. A key translation of Professor Stout’s research is that the diagnosis of Huntington’s Disease is now being refined to take into account, for the first time, cognitive changes rather than focusing exclusively on the movement disorder symptoms.  Professor Stout is Director of Stout Neuropsych Pty Ltd. – a spin-out company that provides an assessment platform and services for cognitive assessment in clinical trials to pharmaceutical sponsors. Her team collaborates with multiple industry partners, pushing innovation by integrating emerging technologies such as mobile devices and sensors into clinical trials, with the aim of capturing individual differences in both disease phenotypes and responsivity to treatments.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/help4hd/2019/11/20/dr-julie-stout</guid><pubDate>Wed, 20 Nov 2019 21:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63401085/dr_julie_stout.mp3" length="30077641" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Help 4 HD Live!</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Julie Stout is Professor in the School of Psychological Sciences at Monash University.

Her team has led the cognitive component of several large, international studies, which have described the cognitive, motor, psychiatric, and brain imaging changes in people with the Huntington’s Disease gene as they progress from normal functioning to manifest Huntington’s Disease. Professor Stout also led a 20-site international study that yielded the HD-CAB, which is now the standard cognitive assessment battery for clinical trials in Huntington’s Disease. Professor Stout also co-leads the Scientific Planning Committee of Enroll-HD, the largest ever study of people from Huntington’s Disease families, which has over 12,000 participants globally. A key translation of Professor Stout’s research is that the diagnosis of Huntington’s Disease is now being refined to take into account, for the first time, cognitive changes rather than focusing exclusively on the movement disorder symptoms.  Professor Stout is Director of Stout Neuropsych Pty Ltd. – a spin-out company that provides an assessment platform and services for cognitive assessment in clinical trials to pharmaceutical sponsors. Her team collaborates with multiple industry partners, pushing innovation by integrating emerging technologies such as mobile devices and sensors into clinical trials, with the aim of capturing individual differences in both disease phenotypes and responsivity to treatments.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1880</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>huntington's disease,juvenile hd</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/541b41278632376c1d26afb72e388353.jpg"/><itunes:season>1</itunes:season><itunes:episode>116</itunes:episode><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>When Does It Begin?</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/when-does-it-begin--63401215</link><description><![CDATA[Dr. Ellen van der Plas is an assistant professor at the University of Iowa Hospital &amp; Clinics.

In 1974, Dr. Thomas Bird founded the first clinic for adults with neurogenetic diseases in the United States. For more than 40 years, he directed this clinic at the University of Washington where he saw thousands of patients and conducted pioneering research on conditions such as cerebellar ataxia, movement disorders, hereditary neuropathy, muscular dystrophies, and familial dementias. Over his career, he has been honored with numerous national awards and lauded for his discoveries about the genetics of hereditary neurological disorders including Alzheimer and Huntington diseases.

In 1974, Dr. Thomas Bird founded the first clinic for adults with neurogenetic diseases in the United States. For more than 40 years, he directed this clinic at the University of Washington where he saw thousands of patients and conducted pioneering research on conditions such as cerebellar ataxia, movement disorders, hereditary neuropathy, muscular dystrophies, and familial dementias. Over his career, he has been honored with numerous national awards and lauded for his discoveries about the genetics of hereditary neurological disorders including Alzheimer and Huntington diseases.

Serbin tested positive for the HD gene in 1999. His daughter Bianca tested negative in the womb and is today a healthy 18-year-old college student. Since 1998, Serbin has served as a volunteer advocate for the Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA). He adopted the pseudonym “Gene Veritas” in January 2005, when he started the blog “At Risk for Huntington’s Disease” (www.curehd.blogspot.com). He has posted 270 articles on numerous aspects of HD, its social impact, and the quest for treatments. In 2007, he helped initiate the effort in California to obtain funding for HD research from the state’s world-leading stem cell institute. In 2011, Serbin came out about his gene-positive status by keynoting the 6th annual HD Therapeutics Conference, sponsored by CHDI Foundation, Inc. That year he was also named the HDSA Person of the Year. In 2012, he went fully public, publishing the essay “Racing Against the Genetic Clock” in The Chronicle of Higher Education. In 2017, Serbin, his wife Regina, and daughter Bianca participated with HD families from around the world in #HDdennomore, Pope Francis’ special audience with the HD community at the Vatican in Rome.

Shelby's talent was recognized at an early age and by fourteen, she was singing the National Anthem at local sporting venues, performed for the first time at the Wild Bull Saloon and earned over 100,000 votes in Bob Kingsley's Future Star online competition. It would not take long before she was grabbing the attention of others in the industry and at just fifteen she opened at The State Theater in Kalamazoo for Warner Music artist, Frankie Ballard. It was also about this time that she began collaborating with local song writers on original music as well. She went on to also open for former American Idol finalist, Matt Giraud, as well as international recording artist, Joanne Shaw Taylor. Shelby spent two years pursuing music in Nashville, Tennessee where she attended Belmont University and worked at the Grand Ole Opry. She recorded two studio EPs while in Nashville and performed on Broadway at the famous Tootsies. Her second EP, entitled “Unbroken” features a song called “Champion” Lentz co-wrote with her friend, Jessica Kellie Adams, inspired by Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky Balboa films. After the diagnosis of Huntington’s Disease in her family, and being recently diagnosed herself, she began her own nonprofit, “Champions for HD” to help aid research as well as other local families struggling with this disease. This was named in honor of her song “Champion” that is now recognized as an HD power anthem and part of her musical proceeds go back to Champions for HD to further the fight against Huntington’s. Shelby performs a mixture of songs that delight all audiences of all ages. There is no doubt that this little girl packs a powerful punch as an experienced entertainer.    ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/help4hd/2018/10/09/shelby</guid><pubDate>Tue, 09 Oct 2018 21:47:15 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63401099/shelby.mp3" length="9483956" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Help 4 HD Live!</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>While she may be petite in stature, Shelby Lentz has a voice that will fill any venue.

It was because of his belief in future generations, the possibilities of medical science and his great love of children that we decided to start Phil’s Kids. Stopping the passing of the gene is the only way to reduce the numbers of those with HD. Phil’s Kids aims to assist people to do just that. By offering financial support, information, advice and peer support for PGD-IVF we hope to be able to help the HD community to stop this horrendous disease in its tracks.

Terry adopted Stacey's son, Cory, and served, in every sense, as Cory's father, loving him as his own child.   When Cory started school, he had some learning difficulties and a slight speech impairment. When Cory turned 8 yrs old, Stacey and Terry noticed a facial droop and drastic decline in speech. After an MRI, they were told by a neurologist that Cory had Encephalopathy….a big word for degeneration of unknown reason. After some intensive speech therapy, Cory improved. At age 10, Cory started walking on his toes. Again, Stacey and Terry took him to therapy. Cory was fitted with braces and improved. Then at age 13, he had another decline, this time affecting his posture, walking, speech, and his favorite thing, his ability to play video games. Numerous neurologists and tests later, they ended up at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and again, no one believed Stacey when she told them that Cory had once played like other children, until they saw their home movies. On April 9, 2009, shortly after is 15th birthday, Cory was diagnosed with JHD.  Cory was able to graduate from high school, but sadly, on December 12, 2015, he lost his battle with Juvenile Huntington's disease.  When Cory was first diagnosed, Stacey and Terry promised, "As long as there is breath in our bodies, we are going to fight this with Cory, for Cory and all the others affected by this." That was the beginning of Stacey and Terry's advocacy, which includes an annual motorcycle riding event called "Cory's Crusade."  Today, Stacey and Terry talk about their continued advocacy in Cory's memory. We will also hear from Cory's hospice nurse, Lanise Shortell.   ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/help4hd/2017/05/04/i-fight-for-jhd</guid><pubDate>Thu, 04 May 2017 16:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63401211/i_fight_for_jhd.mp3" length="48734921" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Help 4 HD Live!</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Stacey and her husband, Terry Sargent, are incredible JHD warrior parents who live outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

Kisa Heyer directs the operations of Dream Foundation, the only national dream-granting organization for terminally-ill adults, including programming, development and staff functions, and management of the Board of Directors.  Since her appointment as Executive Director in 2013 and later as Chief Executive Officer in 2016, Heyer has focused on expanding the availability of the services Dream Foundation provides by partnering with the hospice and palliative care industry to fulfill the needs of patients.  Additionally, Heyer has worked to secure corporate partnerships that enable Dream Foundation to fulfill the dreams of thousands of terminally-ill adults each year, including partnerships with Genentech, the Amedisys Foundation, and Southwest Airlines, to name a few.  Heyer is trained as a CPA with nearly ten years of experience in international fixed income operations and management for several investment banks in London. Her leadership helps ensure that Dream Foundation continues to maintain its fiscal responsibility and accountability and maintain Charity Navigator’s four-star rating—its highest—for sound fiscal management, ensuring its donors and partners that their investment will be used wisely.  Heyer is an active member of the local volunteer community, including tenure as Board President of Ganna Walska Lotusland, a Santa Barbara-based nonprofit.

For me it is very simple. I want to help people. I don't care about money; I never really have.  "Most of my life, I have been haunted by this disease. For twenty years at least I have had the weight of this on my shoulders. For the most part, I did not talk about it much in those 20 years as I didn't want people to pity me or treat me differently. When I finally decided I was going to go through with it and get tested, I decided to open up more about it to friends and coworkers, and what I found was that my story was not met with pity but that it in fact seemed to inspire people. So perhaps by sharing my story, I could do just that if I wrote about it.  "I would say about 90 percent of 'Look Up' is based on my own experience. I go to Vegas with friends every March, have for about seven years, and I take that time to reflect on my life and think about where I am. The idea for this story has been in my brain for years, but I only recently decided to put it on paper and share it."  In this interview, Brent talks about his story, his life with HD, genetic testing, and survivor's guilt. We also provide information on where to go for help if you or a loved one is considering suicide.  Note: The story includes adult situations and profanity.

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.  A group of my friends, who are now Board members of my business, began working on a fundraiser to raise these funds to send out to UC Davis in California. The fundraiser was held in September 2016, raising more than $20,000.”  Kinser is a board member of her local Massachusetts HDSA Chapter. She is involved in attending meetings quarterly and helping with the HD walks around the state, Education Days, as well as many other events that the chapter sponsors.   Kinser recently took Meaghan’s service dog, Dixie, and finished putting her through a pediatric training therapy class.

So there must be a reason my life is affected by Huntington’s Disease.  And that is the reason for this blog.  My name is Ashley. And I have a story to tell…  At 15 years old, I found out that my father had Huntington’s Disease. It was very hard to come to terms with, and at that point, my father and I weren’t exactly on great terms, due to what the condition was doing to his mind.  My brother and I are my father's sole carers, and we do everything for him, with help from social workers and care assistants, not to mention friends and family.  Huntington’s was difficult to come to terms with, but eventually, and many years later, I have made peace with this affliction. The problems I face now are what will happen in the later stages when Dad can no longer stay at home.  Huntington’s is something you can learn to live with as a carer. I know I am at risk, as my brother also is. And I have gotten used to caring for Daddy and recognising his needs.  Something I will never get used to is the staring, the gossiping, and people being downright ignorant towards my father.  Huntington’s is a silent disease, one that is not always apparent to Jane and John Doe who pass us by on the street. It is one of many diseases that are perhaps not always immediately apparent.  The #ImNotDrunk campaign, and the purpose of this blog, is to educate society on such illnesses and to try to stamp out judgements and uneducated opinions.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/help4hd/2016/11/23/imnotdrunk-an-interview-with-ashley-clarke</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Nov 2016 21:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63401183/imnotdrunk_an_interview_with_ashley_clarke.mp3" length="42822053" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Help 4 HD Live!</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Intro into Ashley Clarke's Blog:  https://kyraashley.wordpress.com/  They say there’s a reason for everything.

The problems I face now are what will happen in the later stages when Dad can no longer stay at home.  Huntington’s is something you can learn to live with as a carer. I know I am at risk, as my brother also is. And I have gotten used to caring for Daddy and recognising his needs.  Something I will never get used to is the staring, the gossiping, and people being downright ignorant towards my father.  Huntington’s is a silent disease, one that is not always apparent to Jane and John Doe who pass us by on the street. It is one of many diseases that are perhaps not always immediately apparent.  The #ImNotDrunk campaign, and the purpose of this blog, is to educate society on such illnesses and to try to stamp out judgements and uneducated opinions.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2677</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>caregiver stress,huntingtonsdisease,huntington's disease,i'mnotdrunk,silent disease</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/fa8ac89a8b4fe0431319412ef390088d.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Death with Dignity: A Discussion with Alan A.

Should families of loved ones who are suffering from terminal conditions be allowed to “pull the plug”—or even administer lethal doses of medication?  Retired attorney Alan A. Pfeffer, Esq., joins us to talk about this sensitive and controversial topic. Unless you are facing a terminal illness with debilitating suffering that holds no hope of relief or a cure, assisted suicide can be a difficult topic to discuss. Some believe it's a choice that every human being should have; others believe that only God should determine when and how we die. This show will provide you the opportunity to explore your own thoughts and to ultimately decide if this is something you would even consider.  Our incredible guest has a long history with HD. Alan is the Advocacy Chair of the Albany Affiliate of HDSA and is a volunteer on the New York State Department of Health's advisory committee for its Centers of Excellence program for neurodegenerative diseases. He believes that current Death with Dignity legislation unfairly excludes HD patients because of criteria that's impossible to meet. Alan says, "I feel sorry for the HD folks in California because the law that just passed the legislature is the Oregon model." Find out what changes he advocates and why, as well as what he wants the HD community to do about it.  The chat room will be open during our live broadcast for questions and comments.  Help 4 HD International does not advocate for or against Death with Dignity laws. We believe that everyone should be informed about the subject matter in order to make their own educated personal decision. Thank you, Alan, for having the courage to talk openly about this sensitive and controversial topic!]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/help4hd/2016/11/16/death-with-dignity-a-discussion-with-alan-a-pfeffer-esq</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Nov 2016 23:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63401229/death_with_dignity_a_discussion_with_alan_a_pfeffer_esq.mp3" length="64991616" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Help 4 HD Live!</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Should people who are suffering from terminal illnesses be allowed to choose death with dignity?

WAVE is advancing a diverse pipeline of stereopure nucleic acid therapeutics across a broad spectrum of rare genetic diseases, including Huntington's disease. They share with us the exciting news about their allele-specific gene "snip" (SNP), which could become the first human trial using ASOs in the United States as early as 2017. Preliminary data shows that by targeting the mutant allele, the CAG repeat can be knocked down as much as 20 points. WAVE says their promise is, "Our dedication to excellence in drug development is grounded in our long-term commitment to patients. We will strive to be a true partner to advocacy organizations and patient communities, ensuring that we understand their specific challenges and needs.

Amanda Miller has always had a bit of a soft spot for the underdog; as she puts it, those who could use a boost somewhere along the way in their lives. That desire to advocate for people and empower them is in part what led her to where she is today, as the UI HDSA COE’s social worker. “I feel like there’s a responsibility within our society to help take care of each other, and I’m comfortable doing that and enjoy doing that,” Amanda said. “I’m lucky I get to spend every day doing something that I’m passionate about.”  On the job since November 2012, Amanda provides social work services for persons and families impacted by HD in the state of Iowa. In addition, she is the Research Manager for the adult HD studies at the University of Iowa.  Amanda has two kids, 5 year old Liam and 1 year old Libby, a husband (who cooks better than she does), and is one of 10 kids in her family. When she’s not chasing kiddos, answering phone calls or emails, or spending time with friends, Amanda likes to run, read, laugh, and engage her nerdy side by learning anything she can about neuroscience.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/help4hd/2016/03/23/what-a-difference-a-dedicated-social-worker-can-make-in-so-many-lives</guid><pubDate>Wed, 23 Mar 2016 20:00:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63402913/what_a_difference_a_dedicated_social_worker_can_make_in_so_many_lives.mp3" length="55462810" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Help 4 HD Live!</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>We are excited to have Amanda Miller on the show!  Amanda has done wonderful things as far as supporting HD and JHD families.

Some say this is a choice that we as humans should have, others say it’s playing God. Today’s discussion is going to take you on a journey to explore your own thoughts about what is right, wrong and what is humane and ultimately if this is something you would even consider. Many states now are signing Death with Dignity Law.  Our incredible special guest today is Mr. Alan A. Pfeffer, Esq. who has been lobbying our government to change the criteria for the right to die which is modeled on the Oregon model. Alan says, “I am advocating to get the pending legislation in NY on death with dignity modified so as to permit people with HD to take advantage of the mercy that the legislation is intended to provide. In all the bills throughout the country including what was just passed in California, people with H D are left out.” What? How are people with the worst disease known to man being left out of this law? Well tonight we are going to find out…  Help 4 HD International does not advocate for or against the Death with Dignity Law.

Any study showing a factor associated with more rapid progression is important.

Our call in numbers are 310-982-4227 or 877-497-4103.  When you call in press “1” and we will cue you into the show.  Thank you 95 thousand listeners for tuning in to Help4HD Radio. Five years ago I never dreamed that we would be closing in on 100 thousand listeners and 220 episodes. I am so proud and happy to be able to introduce amazing guests to you on each show that we do. Tonight is no exception. We have an incredible, intelligent and brilliant research scientist with us Dr. Kyle Fink, who is working with Dr. Jan Nolta in her Lab at the UC Davis IRC. He is working on research to prepare the very first ever Juvenile Huntington’s Disease Research Initiative with stem cell.  Tonight we get to meet Dr. Fink and learn all about his work in Jan’s Lab. All of our hopes and fears lie with getting research funded through all the phases of clinical trials and to the market for our loved one who are suffering from this horrendous disease. Help4HD is taking a stand to support JHD research. Our very own President Katie Jackson held our first Help4JHD Kids Walk in June which was amazing.

Our call in numbers are 310-982-4227 or 877-497-4103.  When you call in press “1” and we will cue you into the show.  Thank you 95 thousand listeners for tuning in to Help4HD Radio. Five years ago I never dreamed that we would be closing in on 100 thousand listeners and 220 episodes. I am so proud and happy to be able to introduce amazing guests to you on each show that we do. Tonight is no exception. We have an incredible, intelligent and brilliant research scientist with us Dr. Kyle Fink, who is working with Dr. Jan Nolta in her Lab at the UC Davis IRC. He is working on research to prepare the very first ever Juvenile Huntington’s Disease Research Initiative with stem cell.  Tonight we get to meet Dr. Fink and learn all about his work in Jan’s Lab. All of our hopes and fears lie with getting research funded through all the phases of clinical trials and to the market for our loved one who are suffering from this horrendous disease. Help4HD is taking a stand to support JHD research. Our very own President Katie Jackson held our first Help4JHD Kids Walk in June which was amazing. We were able to raise a small amount of money for Dr. Fink’ research. We know that without research and clinical trials, none of us will have a chance to help our HD community with treatments, therapies or the cure, so I hope there is someone listening out there who can help us too.

We will be talking about the ongoing global research study, which is a Phase II clinical research study of an investigational drug called pridopidine in individuals who have a diagnosis of Huntington disease (HD); and how the results of this trial may help to guide the future treatment of Huntington disease.  The purpose of this randomized double blind study is to see what effect the investigational drug, pridopidine, has on movement, thinking, and behavior, compared to placebo, in people with Huntington disease after 26 weeks of receiving either pridopidine or placebo. In addition, information will be collected about safety and tolerability of pridopidine in people with HD.

We will be talking about the role of the PI (Principal Investigator) in clinical trials.  After working in the pharmaceutical industry for many years, Dr. Speid saw a need to provide information to patients about clinical trials that would allow them to be empowered enough to ask the right questions before and after entering clinical trials. She wrote the book Clinical Trials: What Patients and Healthy Volunteers Need to Know, to accomplish this.  It was published by Oxford University Press in 2010.   Oxford University, the publisher of the book has agreed to provide Help 4 HD with a donation every time anyone using the Code HELP4HD154 in purchasing a copy of the book. The link for purchasing the book is http://global.oup.com/academic/promo/32990/?cc=gb&amp;lang=en PROMO CODE: 32990. This is a book that will provide information on the development of new treatments. Education about this process is critical for anyone that is interacting with the process, whether as care giver or as patient.  She is the founder of a non-profit called Rare Diseases Patients First!  This organization is planning to provide education to patients with rare diseases about the clinical trial process. This education will be provided free of charge.  We will provide more information about these educational internet-based meetings, as soon as they are ready to be rolled out later this year.

This is the time of year for giving. We give to our family; to our friends and to others without expecting much in return. Tonight we are going to talk about the spirit of giving with a woman who puts this to practice all year-round.  We begin with a story about an extraordinary woman and a remarkable homeless man. Elizabeth kept seeing Dale in the same place at certain times and had recognized him from prior years. She had avoided him thinking he was scary. One day when she was out to dinner with her son, she spotted Dale in a dark storefront sitting on a walker. At first she walked quickly to her car. But, when she looked back at him, she could see his silhouette, so frail and vulnerable, she thought… something was different this night.  Tonight Elizabeth is here with us to talk about how she befriended Dale who turns out was suffering from Huntington's disease. She got him off the street and in selfless style she cared for him until his passing. How many homeless H'Dears are out there, friendless, scared, sick and hungry, helpless and alone?  Tonight we honor Elizabeth for her spirit and determination to help our most vulnerable brothers and sisters, the homeless and tonight we honor Dale for the man he was and for the suffering he endured on streets of Seattle.  Tuned in for and incredible story of love and respect and yes many, many challenges.   ]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.blogtalkradio.com/help4hd/2013/12/03/the-hd-view-with-elizabeth-valenzuela</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Dec 2013 23:30:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/63403077/the_hd_view_with_elizabeth_valenzuela.mp3" length="16806656" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Help 4 HD Live!</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Tuesday, December 3, 2013  I am so excited about the month of December shows.

Dr. Rosas and her team have focused primarily on the development of biomarkers for use in the study of neurodegenerative diseases, to better characterize progression, to better understand genotype/phenotype correlations and to apply novel neuroimaging approaches in clinical trials with the overall aim of making them more efficient.   Dr. Rosas’ lab has begun to develop models that may explain clinically heterogeneous phenotypes and variability in disease progression. The current models for both disease prediction and prediction of disease progression are insensitive and inaccurate. Dr. Rosas is planning to expand her efforts to include multi-modal and multi-spectral imaging approaches that promise both more precise measurements and may provide novel and important information on the neural underpinnings of HD and their clinical consequences.   Dr. Rosas is Co-Principal Investigator for the CREST-E Study. CREST-E stands for Creatine Safety, Tolerability, &amp; Efficacy in Huntington’s disease. The Huntington Study Group (HSG), in a partnership between Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the University of Rochester, is conducting a global, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in individuals 18 years of and older with Huntington’s disease (HD). Tonight is the third and final episode in the CREST-E Series. Tune in for another amazing episode about CREST-E.

Gabrielle became a Certified Social Worker in 1997 and began providing therapy to children and families through a community-based organization known as Safe Space. When her term ended in 1998, she left the Chapter to focus on her new son, Teddy, and her full-time profession. Throughout this time, she continued her volunteer work with The Hereditary Disease Foundation speaking at fundraisers, meetings with scientists, and participating in research studies.  In 2008, Gabrielle published a children’s book entitled LILCO AND HIS MOMMY and began speaking with children and families in schools about parenting in the face of illness. She has recently opened a private practice providing therapeutic services to children, adults and geriatrics specializing in the management the stress associated with HD and other neurological disorders.  Gabrielle’s mother, grandmother and aunt were all afflicted with HD and she herself has been diagnosed as gene-positive.

Let's honor this amazing person who has a very huge heart for juvenile Huntington's disease and Huntington's disease advocacy.   James was born and raised in New York to a loving couple Amelia and Joseph Valvano and now lives with them in Florida. Diagnosed with Huntington's disease in 2009, he vowed to use his talent of film making and production to record his advocacy mission and share it with the world. He first coined the phrase "I have Huntington's disease...but, Huntington's disease doesn't have me!"  And that's how he lives every day.  WeHaveAFace.org was launched on March 10, 2011. From this humble beginning he now has a team of eight super JHD and HD advocates who work together on numerous advocacy projects. He has literally touched the world with information, education and resources relating to JHD and HD through his films, website and the very first app for Huntington's disease awareness called "Help 4 HD" which he developed and launched here October 17, 2011 on The HD View.  James Valvano's "Huntington's Disease Project" is causing a very big stir in the community. Visit his website and view his trailer "The Faces of Huntington's Disease: I am No Longer a Faceless Face" at:  www.wehaveaface.org/feature.html.

With the help of skilled medical professionals, YOU have the ability to prevent your children from inheriting HD.   After in-vitro fertilization (IVF), embryos can be tested using pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) to determine their genetic makeup.

Though it isn't equal to an evidence base, expert experience can be valuable. As part of a project to help develop HD treatment guides, Dr. Goodman worked with EHDN and HSG doctors to identify (through surveys) the drug treatment patterns of a large number of international experts for three symptoms of HD.  And also important to getting this information out, they worked to put the combined results into a format that would be useful, accessible, and could effectively fit into times frames of general physician office visits.  Why is this important?  General physicians and general neurologists provide medical care for many, indeed probably most, HD patients.

It takes a team to make a project like “The Huntington’s Disease Film Project” succeed, but it takes a great leader to motivate and keep the vision alive. James is “that leader” and we wish him great fortune in order to complete his film.

Dr. Rosas and her team have focused primarily on the development of biomarkers for use in the study of neurodegenerative diseases, to better characterize progression, to better understand genotype/phenotype correlations and to apply novel neuroimaging approaches in clinical trials with the overall aim of making them more efficient.  Dr. Rosas’ lab has begun to develop models that may explain clinically heterogeneous phenotypes and variability in disease progression. The current models for both disease prediction and prediction of disease progression are insensitive and inaccurate. Dr. Rosas is planning to expand her efforts to include multi-modal and multi-spectral imaging approaches that promise both more precise measurements and may provide novel and important information on the neural underpinnings of HD and their clinical consequences.  Dr. Rosas is Co-Principal Investigator for the CREST-E Study. CREST-E stands for Creatine Safety, Tolerability, &amp; Efficacy in Huntington’s Disease. The Huntingtons Study Group (HSG), in a partnership between Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and the University of Rochester, is conducting a global, multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial in individuals 18 years of and older with Huntington’s Disease (HD).

Both are California medicinal cannabis specialists. We will be talking about the history of Cannabis and the different cultures that have utilized its medicinal properties. We will learn about the cannabinoid system in neuroprotection and how receptors in the brain are activated to relieve symptoms of pain, anxiety and many other conditions.  Only 16 States and DC have enacted laws to legalize medical marijuana and for those who don’t, the MMJ activists are busy educating people about the benefits of this amazing plant.

He’d like to make sure that he understands your concerns and also try to provide information that may be helpful in your understanding of Lunbeck’s actions and activities.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>2336</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>chorea,drug therapies,huntingtons disease,lundbeck inc,xenazine</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/62b9b6041867938323f0632cf2201112.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>HELP 4 HD with Dr. LaVonne Goodman</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/help-4-hd-with-dr-lavonne-goodman--63403871</link><description><![CDATA[Our special guest tonight is Dr. LaVonne Goodman, a “mostly retired” internist and patient advocate who decided to help a Seattle clinic recruit patients with Huntington’s Disease (HD) and was wildly successfully at it. Her secret, she says, is having a personal relationship with many, many patients. Her husband died of HD at age 36. Since then she has seen HD patients and led support groups, building relationships as a friend to families dealing with HD. She has kept a close watch on the clinical studies field, but all studies were observational in nature and not designed to alter the course of their disease or symptoms. Then in 2010, she heard that the first compound designed for motor improvement in HD patients was entering phase II trials. After realizing the Seattle area was not involved, she pressed the Huntington’s Study Group who connected her with a Colorado physician who had just joined Evergreen Neuroscience Institute in Seattle. The two decided to work together on the trial with Goodman handling recruiting. Because of her long standing relationships with HD families, they were literally waiting at the door. Evergreen emerged as the third best recruiter for the trial, among very established centers. She emphasizes, the personal angle is key. Clinical research literacy is low because people don’t know much about clinical trials, they are afraid of them. She stresses that the conversation about clinical trials should come from someone they trust in their community, not a lecture from a stranger. Goodman is staying active in recruiting for studies and is currently working on amassing a cohort to be used for a registry for biomarker studies. She says it is her passion to try to speed that along because there was nothing for the last generation, but for this generation, it could be different.

She is a Master of Social Work for the UC Davis HDSA Center of Excellence in Sacramento, CA and works with 200+ families who come to see the center's dedicated neurologist. Lisa was hooked on social work at a very young age and has devoted her life to the helping professions. In 2001, HDSA named UC Davis a center of excellence, recognizing its expertise in clinical care for Huntington's disease patients. Directed by associate physician Vicki Wheelock and nurse practitioner Teresa Tempkin, the multidisciplinary team also consists of full-time social worker (Lisa Kjer), psychiatrist, physical therapist and genetics counselor. The clinic offers predictive testing, diagnosis and management of symptomatic Huntington's disease, nursing home outreach and community outreach. Patients and families can also participate in clinical trials sponsored by the Huntington Study Group. We will be asking Lisa some very pertinent questions about what to do if we suspect we are affected by HD, are there confidential testing options and what are some of the mental and physical aspects of HD to watch out for? She will explain how the HDSA center of excellence can help our families with information and how she can link us to community resources. She encourages a wonderful support system for all of our HD families.

When I asked her to tell me something about herself, she immediately started telling me about how much she loves her friend and what an honor it is to be advocating for her. Here is a letter she sent to me explaining why she is doing what she is for her friend...“My name is Gina McGahen Becker and it is my goal to bring the community’s attention to Huntington’s Disease. My friend since childhood, Angie Sellars Elkins, was diagnosed with this genetic disease in February of 2004. What makes this even more tragic is she was diagnosed after her sister, Anita Sellars Jackson, who is seven years her junior. Angie and I have exchanged birthday cards without fail for longer than I can remember. This year, when my birthday came around, there was no card. I had that feeling you get in your gut when you know something isn’t as it should be and you don’t want to deal with it. Then two weeks later, the card arrived. It was obvious from her handwriting that the disease had progressed from the last time we had exchanged cards. It was impossible for me to continue to stick my head in the sand and pretend this wasn’t happening. It is my hope that through any means possible, her friends, family and I can bring attention to this disease so that Angie and Anita’s children might not have to face the same obstacles."...Gina and Angie have been friends since the first grade...they are now 42 years young...It is through loving and caring action-orientated friends and family of HDears that the world will be notified of the devastation and destruction that Huntington’s Disease brings. The advocate is their only voice. We definitely need more people like you Gina to be our HDears warriors to fight the battles and to win the hearts of all who will listen. Thank you Gina!

HDYO will support young people from the HD community all over the world….Launching in late 2011, HDYO will be the first organization to specifically support young people from the HD community. The HDYO website will provide support, educational information and videos about HD, stories of young people’s experiences with HD and support forums will all be provided. It will also be available in a variety of languages, providing a place for young people from all over the world to connect and receive much needed support…..Why do young people from an HD family need support? HD is a devastating neurological disorder. The affects of HD on a family are enormous. Young people in particular face a tough time often having to watch a parent slowly deteriorate over many years. Many young people from the HD community provide care for their parent. Most will have lost other family members to HD. Due to psychological issues sometime caused by HD some young people may experience physical and emotional abuse. As a result, some young people may live outside the family home with relatives or even a foster family. Young people from an HD family have a 50% chance of inheriting HD from their parent. That knowledge is something young people at risk of HD have to come to terms with. To say that young people in an HD family have to be strong…is an understatement….TUNE IN to hear Matty from the UK talk about this wonderful new organization that will be a tremendous help and resource for our young people from the HD community.
