Huntington's Disease (HD) is an inherited condition that damages certain nerve cells in the brain. This brain damage gets progressively worse over time and can affect movement, cognition (perception, awareness, thinking, judgement) and behaviour. HD is often discovered when a person is in their 30's or 40's. There is no cure for HD and no way to slow it down. 

Mill Lodge in Narborough cares for people with HD. As their condition worsens, people with HD experience involuntary movements and difficulty in sitting up without support from a special wheechair. Often the wheelchairs are too big for even wheelchair friendly taxis. Our HD patients just want to do normal things like visit the hairdresser or go to the cinema but transport can be difficult. 

Over the last eight years, supporters of Mill Lodge have fundraised for a specially adapted car which can accommodate a HD wheelchair. You can read more about that here. 

Now we need your help to keep this car on the road and ensure there are more Miles for Smiles in the future.

Your donation, whatever you can afford, will help patients at Mill Lodge to take advantage of their 'good days' to get out and do the things we probably take for granted but mean a lot to them. Miles for Smiles
