I had chosen a seat towards the back of the conference room because I noticed the legendary Jimmy Pollard sitting there. I didn’t want to miss the chance to sit next to this Huntington’s disease (HD) advocate and all-around amazing person.
I was at the Help4HD conference in Detroit, Michigan. It was my first time attending an event like this on my own. In the years past, I wouldn’t have had the emotional strength to do such a thing, but I knew there were going to be a bunch of people there whom I had met only virtually, through social media, or while working on my second book about Huntington’s. It was an opportunity I didn’t want to pass up, and I am glad I didn’t because something wonderful happened that weekend.
