CURE HD Foundation
My name is Robert Bishop. I am 40 years old and the father of five children (ages 16, 13, 10, 7, and 5). In 1998, I sold my computer software business to take up the cause of fund raising and public awareness for a terminal illness called Huntington's Disease (HD). Unless a cure is found, 2 or 3 of my children will tragically die from this disease. Each has a 50% chance of having inherited a defective gene from their mother (who became symptomatic for HD in her mid-twenties).

Hereditary Disease Foundation
The Hereditary Disease Foundation is a non-profit, basic science organization dedicated to the cure of genetic disease. 100% of all publicly donated funds is directed to the support of biomedical research. Our program includes research grants, John J. Wasmuth postdoctoral fellowships, Milton Wexler postdoctoral fellowships and the Lieberman Award. A centerpiece of the Foundation is the program of interdisciplinary Mary Jennifer Selznick workshops held many times during the year. These small, informal, free-wheeling workshops foster dialogue among researchers, from a variety of fields, who come without prepared lectures or slides to converse across disciplinary borders.
Huntingdon Society of Canada
The Huntington Society of Canada (HSC) was founded in 1973 by Ralph and Ariel Walker in their home town of Cambridge, Ontario. Since then, HSC has grown into a strong national organization with 60 volunteer chapters and area representatives across the country and professionally-staffed Resource Centres in most provinces.

HDSA promotes and supports both clinical and basic HD research, aids families in coping with the multi-faceted problems presented by HD and educates the families, the public and health care professionals about Huntington’s Disease. Our HD families give a face to Huntington’s Disease; HDSA is its voice.

Robert Laycock's Site (Canada)
This is a new, pared-down version of my home page for Huntington's disease. Many of the resources and news releases I had on my old page were very stale and and I had given up long ago trying to keep up-to-date with recent research. My emphasis now is to try to provide, as always, a caring starting point for people who are recently aware that their lives are touched by this devastating disease. Please be aware that I am only a lay person whose family is affected by HD and not a medical expert of any kind. Only your doctor or other medical professional can offer you advice or recommend treatment and nothing on these pages should be interpreted as doing so.
