Her Mother’s Daughter
In the fight against Huntington’s disease, family is everything.

Her Mother’s Daughter, a film by Rae Maxwell and produced by HDSA,
introduces the world to Kathi O’Donnell and shows the devastating impact
that Huntington’s disease (HD) & juvenile Huntington’s disease (JHD)
has had on the O’Donnell family.

The film is a window into Kathi’s inspiring journey as a caregiver
as we see the different stages of HD & Juvenile Huntington’s disease
a rare form of HD that progresses more rapidly than adult onset.

Huntington’s disease is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown
of nerve cells in the brain and has no cure. Every child of a parent with HD has a
50/50 chance of inheriting the faulty gene that causes the disease.

Today, there are approximately 30,000 symptomatic Americans and
more than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting this rare disease.

The symptoms of HD are described as having ALS, Parkinson’s & Alzheimer’s – simultaneously.

Less than 10% of all HD cases are diagnosed before the age of 20.
Juvenile Huntington’s disease typically progresses more rapidly than adult onset HD.

Her Mother’s Daughter is a powerful family story of love, hope and compassion –
across generations and against all odds.
