Help 4 Hd Live!

Our special guest this show is the amazing and dynamic CHRIS FURBEE. Chris was born April 30, 1966 and tested positive (43 repeats) for the Huntington's Gene in 1996. He recently came to terms that he is in the early stages of Huntington's Disease. He has been working on a documentary about his mom and life with Huntington's Disease. The story follows him from his decision to go back home to West Virginia to visit his mom for 2 months to see if she could continue living on her own or if he needed to place her into a nursing home.... The following year he went to get the genetic test and found that he did inherit the gene from his mom. The story does not end there as he has chosen to empower himself by speaking to medical students at UCSF and Stanford. He decided that he had to live a positive life and educate as many people about HD.... Chris has an annual festival event called Furb on the Green where he gets to play in his band, Ik Nak Fu and showcase many other talents. The proceeds are used to fund his doc
