A Lanarkshire mum of three, who has the faulty gene that causes Huntington’s disease, has enlisted the help of the BBC’s Casualty stars in her latest fundraising quest in support of families whose lives are impacted by the condition.
Gillian McNab, 52, who works as a palliative care nurse at Strathcarron Hospice, is urging people from across Scotland to join her at Dance 100 – a new dance-athon event created in collaboration with Scottish Huntington’s Association to increase awareness about the complex neurological condition and raise funds for the charity.
She reached out for help to Casualty actor George Rainsford who plays Dr Ethan Hardy, a consultant facing the onset of Huntington’s disease in the long-running BBC drama. Gillian and George first met during a Zoom call last year organised by Huntington’s disease charities.
