Below is another story of a family living with Kennedy's Disease and their efforts to help find a cure
for this condition. The non-profit they formed is in Great Britain.
Starting up a non-profit
is never easy. Susanne and Terry Waite started the Kennedy's Disease Association (KDA) fifteen years ago.
They sacrificed a lot to make it happen and even more to grow the KDA into what
it is today.
I applaud the efforts of Ms. Hopps and her team and wish them the
best as they move forward with KD-UK. Their website is: http://kennedysdiseaseuk.com/

When Kate Hopps, 43 of Martinstown, found out her husband of
21 years Frank had Kennedy’s Disease, her world was turned upside down.
Kennedy's Disease (KD) is described as
an inherited motor neuron disease that affects men. There is no cure for the
disease and no current treatment.
Kate said: “It's very scary when you're
told that your husband has this disease because so few people know about it.”
