Success of the Book “Chronicle of a Fortune Foretold”: Over 270 Copies Sold in 2024

The solidarity project led by the European Huntington Association (EHA) through its Moving Forward initiative, in collaboration with the Spanish Huntington’s Disease Association (ACHE), has closed 2024 with outstanding results.

 

With over 270 copies sold, “Chronicle of a Fortune Foretold” has become a key tool in raising awareness about Huntington’s Disease (HD) and generating funds to support families affected by this neurodegenerative condition.

After covering all printing and distribution costs, the total profit from the project reached €961.50, which has been evenly distributed between the project partners: the European Huntington Association (EHA) and the Spanish Huntington’s Disease Association (ACHE). 

The book, available in a bilingual edition (English and Spanish), combines a poignant story with original illustrations by Paloma Agüera.

Luis Aguilar, a young man at risk of developing Huntington’s Disease, shares in this work his personal experiences and the challenges faced by those living under the shadow of this condition. His goal is to raise awareness about HD and provide support to those affected and their families.

This achievement highlights the impact of the collective efforts of the associations involved and the many individuals who supported the project by purchasing the book. Every copy sold not only contributes financially to EHA and ACHE’s support and awareness initiatives but also helps spread a message of hope and solidarity within the HD community.

Thanks to the dedication of everyone involved and the response from the community, the project continues to demonstrate how literature can serve as a powerful tool to change lives.

Luis has also been able to participate in various initiatives, including the HDReach Book Club in the United States, an inspiring interview for HDYO Series, and his participation in the recent EHA Conference in Blankenberge, where he shared his story and the experience of writing “Chronicle of a Fortune Foretold.”

If you would like to collaborate, you can purchase the book through the available distribution platforms and help support our cause.
