""'It's my 39th birthday today. I have no friends to celebrate it with.. about a week ago I got a HDshirt-- https://moteefe.com/store/hd-shirt and I like it but most of the people didn’t like it. They have never tried to understand my feelings. I hope the people in our group will understand my emotions.

""This has got to be one of my favorite #HDUncut shows thus far. Chef Chris Brown joined me again to discuss his recent visit to Wave Life Sciences, but we got into our feelings and discussed so much more than that - and it was powerful. TW: We do discuss suicidal thoughts and other things that could be triggering, so please be aware of that. ""

On Thursday, Chef Chris Brown and I spent over an hour talking for the #HDUncut series. This was truly an inspiring show for me. Chris is so honest and authentic.

There are so many great parts to the show, so I'm thinking of doing multiple highlight videos, but we will start with this one to give everyone an idea of our conversation.

Great HD news:
"Huge news today (In my opinion). The NIH (National Institute of Health) has awarded 22 million to a new initiative dubbed "Correction of Neurological Disease via Allele Specific Excision of Pathogenic Repeats”.

One of the goals of this is to bring a CRISPR based therapeutic to clinical trial within 5 years for Huntington's Disease!! "• Project I will utilize AAV-CRISPR techniques to address Huntington's disease, with Krystof Bankiewicz, MD, PhD, as primary investigator. This is the flagship/trailblazer project, which is most likely to yield an approved Investigational New Drug application within 5 years."

You can read the full details here and I'll be happy to answer questions but they're finally aiming to bring CRISPR to people in a relatively quick timeframe for Huntington's Disease! As many in the group know, I am -extremely- excited about the potential of CRISPR to cure HD and right around the corner is a more advanced version called Base Editing.

I know 5 years sounds like a long time but it could come even sooner and I was trying to be conservative in my hopes so wasn't expecting something like this to come about for another 5 years and we'd have it within 8-15 so this is huge to me! Everyone keep your fingers crossed everything goes smoothly for this and we can remove those expanded CAG repeats in everyone!
