Sarah’s History with the Condition

Sarah Foster is highly active in the online Huntington's disease community. She has contributed to anthologies about living with HD and has published a collection of blog entries.

After seeing the success of the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) "Ice Bucket Challenge," Sarah started the HD "Pie in the Face Challenge." It did not go viral, but it raised awareness globally on a smaller scale.

In her blog, Sarah writes about living with Huntington's disease. She has a patient and loving husband, Randy, four sons in their twenties, and one teenage son who lives at home.

The information presented is solely for educational purposes, not as specific advice for the evaluation, management, or treatment of any condition.
