Today in our neuro class, we listened to Makayla's presentation about Trey Gray. He has Huntington's Disease. Trey was the drummer for Brooks and Dunn and for Reba. It was interesting because he started drumming for Brooks and Dunn in 2002, but he was diagnosed with HD in 2003. He is a musician, producer, father, husband, and national spokesperson. He lives in Nashville and has a fund. With HD, it is genetic, and Trey's sister and did not get it, but he did. His parents had it as well. This is a degenerative disease ad no cure, just medications to slow it down and manage skills. He drinks to cope with the disease, and Makayla's goals were to drum through a song without mistakes. Makayla mentioned that he hates the word "celebrity" because he is just a drummer, so that's probably why there isn't much information released about him. Makayla did a really good job with her presentation and informing us about Huntington's Disease.
