HD Celebrity

For more years then I care to remember, HD families have been wishing or praying for a 'famous personality' to help us get attention for Huntington's Disease. In February 2007, with his speech at the CHDI Research Conference, Charles Sabin let the world know [before his own family knew] that he, himself, had been diagnosed with HD. Once his secret was out of the 'closet', it appears that Mr. Sabin has personally set out to gain world recognition for Huntington's Disease. From the below video's and articles, and with his background as an Emmy-award winning and highly respected NBC news correspondent, you'll see that Mr. Sabin has been speaking out eloquently and powerfully to help create awareness on Huntington's Disease since his initial speech in 2007. Mr. Sabin is also scheduled to be one of keynote speakers at the 2009 World Congress on Huntington's Disease 12th - 15th September 2009 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
