“Things are really accelerating. We in the research community are convinced that ... everything is now in place for finding a cure for Huntington’s.”
Dr. Gillian Bates

A leading expert on hereditary brain disorders
Laura's Hope is a special, global research fund that accelerates clinical trials of treatments for Huntington's Disease.
The fund is named in honour of Laura Evans, a young woman who lost her battle with Huntington's Disease at age 28. Over the last few years of her life, Laura's hope was that a treatment would be found for the hereditary disease before it also claimed her best friend and older sister Andrea. Andrea is in her early 30's and is just now beginning to show the symptoms of Huntington's.
Laura's hope of finding a treatment is now within reach, thanks to a series of recent research breakthroughs. There are numerous promising treatments just waiting for clinical trial funding. Laura's Hope provides the financial resources to make the clinical trials a reality. Research is now at the stage where this fund can make a real difference.
Fulfilling Laura's hope will help hundreds of thousands of people worldwide with the disease. It will also make a major contribution to research into related neuro-degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS.
