Your proactive fight against HD

There are many travelers on the sometimes stormy sea of Huntington's disease. We would like help you navigate your path through this storm. The HDlighthouse is where we show you what's going on in HD research and our sister site, the Huntington's Disease Advocacy Center is where you can learn how other HD families are dealing with the issues.

Passing the baton

In Memoriam

In recent years, the Lighthouse community has had to say good-bye to several beloved members of our staff. We lost the first Lighthouse keeper, Jerry Lampson in 2004, chatroom moderator John Charlton in 2006, and chatroom moderator Annie L and contributor Scott Midyett in 2007.

Annie L. is Kelly’s mother. She served as chatroom moderator from the time it was established. She is remembered for her insight and kindness.

When Scott died, one of our regular posters offered the following Bible verses from 2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV) as an epitaph. It applies to all:

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
