I have worked in the welfare sector for Anglicare Victoria for over 30 years and Im currently a Youth Crisis Worker in a young women’s refuge.
My best friend had Huntington’s disease and I supported her from the time she got tested until she gained her HD warrior wings, by being an advocate and a voice after she no longer was able to use hers.

My belief in what the organisation is wanting to achieve and supporting them to make a difference in the lives of all that are affected by Huntington’s disease.
