Sonya * Living With HDMy name is Sonya Bailey, I am 54 years old and was diagnosed at 49 with Huntington's disease. I first learned about Huntington's when my father was diagnosed with it during the 90s. Huntington's at first was a difficult pill to swallow, but now I am grateful because it's allowed me to be closer to my grandkids and to be part of the awesome community at HDREACH – the sense of community, resources, and friendship they give our family makes me not feel alone in my journey. I always look forward to our monthly gatherings to hang out with everyone.
