Join us in celebrating the first ever Odds And Socks Day!
What Are The Odds?
One of the charities Kings Hill Management Ltd are supporting this year is Huntington’s Disease Association. This charity was brought to our attention by a team member who has a close relative who unfortunately has this dreadful disease. We are happy to raise awareness and will be donating as well as wearing our odd socks today!
Wear and share your wildest odd socks to help us raise awareness of the disease as well as vital funds for people affected by Huntington’s disease.
Leap into leap year this Odds And Socks Day!

It is genetic which means if one of your parents carries the gene, you have 50:50 odds of inheriting it. That’s a one in two chance and we’ve launched Odds And Socks Day to highlight the odds of inheriting Huntington’s.
If you can make a donation, please find below a link to their just giving page:

About Huntington’s:
Huntington’s disease is a rare disease that affects the whole person – mentally and physically. It is genetic which means if one of your parents carries the gene, you have 50:50 odds of inheriting it. That’s a one in two chance.
The disease
Around 8,000 people in the UK are living with Huntington’s disease, it affects your nervous system which co-ordinates your body’s activities, your cognitive ability and behaviour. It is caused by a faulty gene in your DNA and sadly there is no cure.
