The Faith and Hope Society founded by Kimberly Gibson in 2009 is a non-profit organization that raises awareness of Huntington’s Disease. The Society works to educate elected officials in the struggles of those afflicted with the disease to bring a wider recognition of the help that is needed for these courageous people. Our goal is to bring public awareness and secure government funding to aid the people in need. We want to help children and families that suffer from this disease to have the tools to better cope with the life change and uncertainty that comes with this affliction. For us, this means promoting and supporting research and medical efforts to eradicate Huntington's Disease. It means educating the public and health professionals about Huntington's disease. It means that hopefully soon the disease will not be considered an Orphan disease and will get the proper funding for research it deserves.
