What is Huntington's Disease?

A local Romeoville resident is suffering with this genetic terminal disease.

My brother Brian Juknuis Jr., has been suffering with this terminal disease since 2019. I am trying to make this go viral for him. This disease has taken a huge financial toll on our family.

I have lost my job to become a caretaker for my brother. I am currently trying to get back to work as I have four children who depend on me. I am working with my brother's doctors in order to obtain guardianship of him.
