May 7th is #BrainDonationAwarenessDay Brain tissue is critical to advance research on preventing and treating neurodegenerative disease; this day helps raise awareness about the importance of brain donation to advance scientific efforts that will benefit all people affected by neurodegenerative disease.

A brain donation is an invaluable gift that anyone can make to further how we understand the brain and different diseases that affect it, like HD. To learn more about brain donation visit HDSA’s website, https://hdsa.org/find-help/healthcare-and-future-planning/brain-donations/ or https://hdtrialfinder.org

In honor of Nurses Week, we’d like to take a moment to recognize and celebrate the incredible contributions our nurses make every day in the lives of the ArchCare community. Nurses are called by God to provide care and comfort in challenging situations, and they do so through touch… a listening presence…a willing and compassionate heart.

As the backbone of ArchCare’s healthcare system, our nurses work tirelessly to care for thousands of vulnerable patients, advocate for their needs, and provide kindness and empathy during some of the most difficult moments in their lives. Their dedication and expertise make a real difference in the lives of our patients and their families. Thank you for all that you do, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your hard work and selflessness inspire us all. I am grateful for the vital role you play in our healthcare system. Happy Nurse's Week! #TogetherWeCan #NursesWeek

Visited Scotty about a week ago...HD sucks but he handles his burden with grace and dignity. As you can tell from his last post it really fucks with your head.

He enters the HD assisted living program at Archcare at Ferncliff tomorrow. That's located in Rhinebeck which is a beautiful location on the eastern banks of the Hudson. Also closer to where I live. He has a loving and supportive family. I have spoken to his Aunt Barbara and he is lucky to have such a good support system.

Hang in there buddy a new adventure begins.

HD trials info:
"Hi Denee,

I answered a similar question from the other thread but thought I'd repost here:

I do! I also recently presented and have a recording of the trials I think are worth watching in 2023 for news. You can find that here:

HDSA also has a Therapies Pipeline page, which has an impressive amount of trials and shows the work being done BUT - it isn't complete! There's new stuff popping up all the time and even I, who look at it every single day, am losing track of the number of trials and incoming therapies. The pipeline on HDSA doesn't include stuff like CRISPR, which I mentioned in the webinar!

Pipeline link: https://hdsa.org/hd-research/therapies-in-pipeline/
"

Here is our lineup for June! We've got some great shows - including a new monthly series! Thanks to the Hereditary Disease Foundation, we will be showcasing young investigators and their research in HD.

We will also continue our HD Uncut series - This is an uncensored show for the HD community to come on and talk about whatever they want - struggles, frustrations, blessings, tips and tricks, whatever! If you are interested in being on the HD Uncut series, please email me at lauren@help4hd.org. 🙂
