HUNTINGTON’S DISEASE - THE FIGHT

Huntington's Disease (HD) is a hereditary, progressively degenerative fatal brain disorder that destroys one’s physical control and mental capacity over a period of 10-15 years. HD takes away an individual’s ability to walk, speak and reason. Currently, one in 10,000 Americans, including 5,000 children between the ages of six months and 18 years, have already been diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease.

On January 11th 2006, retired Capt. Denis P. Fleming, of the Fire Department of New York, lost his courageous battle against Huntington’s Disease (HD). FightHD.org has been made to honor his legacy and continue the fight for a cure to this devastating disease.
