Living with KD

Support

You Are Not Alone

Finding Support

Those who actually exhibit symptoms of Kennedy's Disease need support and understanding, as do those who love them. Many issues may need to be addressed that others who do not live with Kennedy's Disease may not understand or know how to help answer. In our community, people living with Kennedy’s Disease have offered to help. Below you will find ways to connect with others living with Kennedy's Disease all over the world. These individuals have made themselves available for those seeking help, guidance and support. Together, there is much knowledge to be shared, and experience has been the teacher for all of us.

KD-UK was registered in March 2015 as a non-profit in the United Kingdom. We are based in Dorchester, Dorset, UK and are run by volunteers, friends and sufferers of Kennedy's Disease. We raise funds to help support vital KD research at University College in London. We also want to raise much needed awareness of this disease. Both of these two aims are being achieved and we are so proud of all the support we have had to date.
