We are the only UK based charity for Kennedy’s Disease (KD); a non-profit organisation run by volunteers and sufferers. We realise that more is needed to help raise the awareness of this awful disease and we want to make sure that people out there hear about Kennedy’s Disease and the effect it has on sufferers, carers, family and friends. There is only one centre carrying out vital research in the UK and we hope that our efforts will help them to find a cure for the disease.
