In February 2012, at the age of 56, before her diagnosis, there were symptoms of nervousness, coughing spasms, mind racing, and deteriorating motor skills that made it harder for her to speak and move smoothly. Her symptoms progressed as she continued to battle HD. She is the inspiration behind the HelpCureHD Foundation, founded by her son Joe Smith and his wife Allie LaForce.
The foundation has established a grant program to help provide prospective parents who have the Huntington's Disease gene an opportunity to have an HD-Free baby through a PGT-IVF.
Lee's legacy will live on through these children who will be born that will never have to worry about HD in their family again.
“To Joe & Allie - Whatever you do, whatever you become, I love you both and appreciate everything!””
— Lee Smith
