TWO of Swindon’s landmarks are lighting up in pink and green to raise awareness of Huntington’s disease.

Greenbridge roundabout and rooms inside the Wyvern Theatre will take on the new look throughout May.

Dan Grubb, electrical contracts manager at Affleck Electrical, which sponsors Greenbridge roundabout, said, “We’re always happy to help causes in any way we can.

"Raising awareness for such a debilitating disease such as Huntington’s by simply lighting up the roundabout in the campaign colours is the least we can do. We’re delighted to be showing our support throughout this spring month.”

This comes as part of the global Huntington’s Disease Associations #LightItUp4HD campaig.

The sites will join other famous landmarks around the UK including Blackpool Tower, Portsmouth’s Spinnaker Tower and Althorp House, the home of Earl Spencer.

The Huntington’s Disease Association supports people affected by Huntington’s disease which is a rare neurological disorder.

It affects the central nervous system and is caused by a faulty gene passed down through families, with each child of a parent with Huntington’s having a 50 per cent chance of inheriting it.
