Huntington's Disease: John Paul Jr. shares his story

- At one time, John Paul Jr. was among the nation's top professional race car drivers. But in 2001 he had to retire from racing when he noticed that his car would not respond the way he thought his hands and feet were telling it to while driving. He was diagnosed with Huntington's disease, a progressive neurological disorder.
"It was starting to invade my racing," John Paul recalls. "I was having to actually talk my way around the track. I was having to tell myself to turn, accelerate, brake, instead of it just flowing."
Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder that causes degeneration of cells in certain areas of the brain, leading to uncontrolled movements, loss of intellectual faculties and emotional disturbance. John Paul's grandmother and mother also had the disease.
But the recent discovery of the Huntington gene -- a mutation of one gene that sets in motion an attack deep within the area of the brain called the basal ganglia -- offers hope for those with Huntington's disease as well as patient's with other neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
"As we develop better understanding for what's causing Huntington's, then targeted approaches can be made to stop the problems from happening with the ultimate goal of trying to delay the onset of the disease or slow down the progression of the disease, to stop the damage from happening," says UCLA neurologist Yvette Bordelon, M.D., Ph.D., a member of the UCLA Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Studies. "A few years after the gene had been found, there were maybe three human clinical trials that had been done or were being conducted in Huntington's disease. Now there are 21."
John Paul's hope is that new discoveries will come in time to help his own children, who, like him, may have inherited the defective gene from their parent. That, says his half-sister, AJ Paul, "would be his ultimate winning race." - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Sadly, John Paul Jr. lost his battle this morning at age 60. May he rest in peace, and his father rot in hell
Thank you for the comment.
John Paul Sr isn’t dead yet, everyone even in Europe are still looking for him. But hopefully he gets found and Apprehended for both Wife’s and Girlfriend’s disappearance, at least John Paul Jr had a second chance after months in prison (was supposed to be 5 years for refusing to testify against his dad)
But I hope UCLA and other Universities finds a cure against Huntington’s disease
Andrew Winslow, you're not the only one that feels as you do.
Being Chalices sister I implore John Paul to come forward with whatever he knows about my sisters disappearance. If family is truly his concern. Please don't let your children carry on the sins of the fathers. As I too am part of his family. Aunt Charlene.
I will carry on Charlene’s voice to get justice for her missing sister. Darlene Gray and Patricia “Trish” Paul both had relationships with John Paul Jr and covered up the knowledge of crimes committed by the Paul’s, the past about Chalice Paul & Colleen Wood, the missing, and John Paul Jr’s involvement with his father after he was released from Leavenworth prison and was on parole and in the care of Trish & John Paul Jr.
The Paul couple even let John Paul Sr. travel internationally with another missing woman, Colleen Wood while on parole with a fake passport. COMPLICIT totally!!
RIP John Paul i will never forget the Best Race Driver in the 80
Damn I just stopped by to watch a clip about Huntington's disease. After reading the comments I then had to go look up this man and his dad only to find out about murder drug deals prisons damn it. You never know what you will learn about on YT
It is time to get Chalice's story told in mainstream media or a feature film. I hold all the research to do a project. I attempted to work with California production companies but never came to fruition yet. This could be the only way to get an active investigation on her disappearance and in connection with Colleen Wood's disappearance. John Paul Jr. we are still waiting on you to come clean with your knowledge on your father, please don't leave this earth without attempting to help us get justice for these missing women.
I'm sure he won't.
@@pauliecrackers2811 really? This post was 5 years ago and we know he is dead now by assisted suicide. This is Catherine Christine Murray using another fake account? Your timing is perfect it is? You are a fugitive of law and we are offering a matched reward to Crimestoppers of Okalossa County, FL
Had the privilege of meeting John in '95 and he's a great guy. He was very sweet to my son who is physically and mentally challenged. I am praying for him that he can stay strong and fight this as long as possible.
Road and Track Magazine has an excellent story “Escape of the Old Pirate” a must read.
I am writing on behalf of Chalice Paul, former wife of John Paul Sr. Chalice went missing in 1981 and there has never been an investigation on her disappearance. Because of there not being an investigation another woman went missing years later, Colleen Wood and suspected to be John Paul Sr.'s involvement in both women's disappearance. John Paul Jr. had knowledge about his father's past but never came forward out of fear of him I am sure of it. We would love for him to share his knowledge of anything he could offer to the authorities before his demise caused from Huntington's Disease. If only he knew the impact and positive legacy he could leave behind by doing so. It has been told that "dying declarations" will hold up in a court of law and justice could be served finally. Please Darlene, shed some light on this and know the world is watching to see how John Paul Jr. ends his life with some sort of dignity and integrity. His children are beautiful and what a shame that their lives would have to live in shame knowing their own father did not do the right thing before leaving this earth.
Chalice Paul *Dear Lord!*
*This is scary beyond belief!*
....deep state. Got to drain that swamp.
RYNO LASCAVIO this has nothing to do with politics pal
R.I.P.
I would feel better if John Paul would encourage his father (the coward in hiding for the last several years) to explain where both his previous wives are (John Paul's stepmothers)...both disappeared near Key West. Also, why did this same father take all of Colleen's money, much of it after she disappeared by hiring women to pose as her. Additionally, John Paul Sr. was financed by someone when he came out of prison so he could fleece Colleen Wood -- all the evidence points to John Paul Jr. Both she and Chalice Alford (the other wife) never got to be with their families when they passed, nor do their families have any information on the location of their bodies. This is as bad or worse than Huntington's disease.
Oh yes, did I forget to mention that his racing costs were funded by dealing drugs? (yes, both father and son were convicted)
The race cars JLP 1, JLP 2, JLP 3, and JLP 4 were brought out of storage upon John .paul Sr’s release from Kevenworth prison and raced in the USA and Europe when they were suppose to be ceased by none other than our Federal Government.
I hope the IRS is monitoring the income and expense on these cars. Also the current income on Amazon Prime donations being given to the John Paul Jr. Huntington’s Disease Foundation, a Florida based corporation.
Boy, thats a tough one. I mean, if he gets his Moms genes, he gets Huntingtons. But if he got his Dads genes, well, that would probably have sucked even more.
God bless John Jr..You were my favorite driver,besides my dad..lol..Never forget Laguna 1986 when we met...You blew a tire,hopped the fence..I said,You ok..You said,Nothing like wreckin' at indy!..You always treated my dad good..Dont care about any thing else..
And now the longest and toughest race of his life. Thanks for sharing Johnnie.
I'm a Type 2 Diabetic, I traced it back 4 generation on both sides of my family. I made the choice to remain single and not have children. I found out when I was 19 and was visiting my Mother's parents in Boston. I had 17 great years in the military and now I paying the price. I'm disabled because of the complications of Diabetes. Every day is a challenge not to bruise myself that could go unnoticed and lead to losing finger, a toe, afoot of a leg.
My mom n sister has hunington n my moms sister passed from it at 52.... I have the symptoms but scared to get tested 😢
Setting aside John Paul Sr., who was a miserable, nasty man, John Paul Jr. was and is a genuinely nice guy.
Yeah, you usually end up drug smuggling and racketeering if you are a genuinely nice guy.
Fuck him and his dad. They deserve what they got.
@@FaintAcrobat You dont know shit buddy.
@@rynolascavio3381 I do first hand I was John Paul Jr's missing stepmothers best friend when she went missing. I have been trying to get her justice since 1981 and John Paul Jr. knows all too well about her disappearance and what her father did with her remains we believe. He needs to give us a dying declaration before he leaves this earth.
sorry to hear about this stay strong , the research hopefuly will help many , good luck from the campbells of nh
John Paul, Jr., call your father and tell him to tell the police what happened to Colleen Wood.
Thank you all for watching and your encouraging comments!
Keep Fighting! You will help us all.
God Bless.
Stay tuned with more video coverage of part two of Crime in Sports podcast. In the works is another independent podcast that is in the works. This is for the forgotten missing women both last seen with John Paul Sr and Jr.
Thanks for sharing this. As always your a class act JPJ!
We recently found out in our recent continued research on Chalice Paul that in fact her name and photo was posted in the Palm Beach Daily News about a play to be launched in the Palm Beach County area in 1981.
It was called Guys and Dolls that eventually made its way to the Lake Worth Playhouse a year after this photo of her was taken and Chalice’s casting call.
It was posted before she disappeared in June of 1981. She was at the Players.Club next to PalmBeach Polo Stadium owned by William “Bill” Ylvisaker, the founder, builder and owner of the stadium and club.
Chalice was one of the young aspiring actresses casting for the lead part. But guess who landed the part? None other than Patricia Paul better known as Trish Paul.
Patricia “Trish” Paul was John Paul Jr’s past wife before Darlene Gray broke that marriage up!
So we have bonafide proof Chalice made the flight back to Florida from
Atlanta to meet up with John Paul Sr!
Now are you going to tell me now Trish Paul you never met Chalice? From your owns words from your mouth to my ears you claimed you acquired Chalice’s wedding ring and Stateroom Key embellished with diamonds gems by Chalice that was the stateroom key that was from their honeymoon suite on board of the Queen Elizabeth II when she and John Paul Sr sailed to Lemans for the 24 hours of Lemans race.
That was shortly after she married John Paul Sr Sr on the infield at Limerock Park after the race as featured In The book “35 Years of Racing Limerock Park”.
You acquired those two jewelry pieces from John Paul Jr before she disappeared!!
Go to newspapers.com and put in Chalice Barrett-Paul to find what I found and be sure while you are there put in Patricia Paul to find the archived newspaper article about Patricia Paul getting the lead actress part for Guys and Dolls. For the proof and if no one believes this post!
Shame on all the people who knew the truth but did nothing about it. Now all of you could b accessories after the fact.
RIP.
All the best wishes to you, John Paul, Jr.
I worked with his sister in Muncie, IN, knew his mother and met his brother, they are great people!
lunaticctl you got to be kidding me? The Paul’s knew and covered up the crimes of John Paul Sr and Jr.
The Paul’s are POS for not helping Find Chalice-Barrett Paul which we just discovered was her stage name.
Check out the trailer of part 2 of Crime in Sport Episode #37 about John Paul Sr. and John Paul Jr. How can Jr. address his father at the end of Michigan 500 race he won in 1983 just two months after his father shot Stephen Carson. John Paul Sr. turned himself 6 weeks later and then a month later Jr. wins this race and talks like his father was not present? John Paul Sr. was out on bond so the consensus is Jr. knew already his father skipped bond and fled the country! Watch the TH-cam trailer on the link below.

Go to hell in a hand basket! This Podcast was cleared by developers a hole.
@@jazzypoo7960hahaha! Catherine Christine Murray you are a wanted fugitive of law stalking me and all my pages and posts
Like, even though you're doomed, you can rejoice in that you've made a positive impact. Way to go, babe!
All thanks to dr Stanley who cured me from my Huntington’s disease I am forever grateful
Rip jp jr
everytime pewds posts a video my day gets better. honestly
Best wishes to you John, I wish that had to opportunity to meet you as well! If you read this say hey to sis for me, we worked together at King's corner.
I had 2 children before I knew of my ex wife having bi-polor disorder and depression and myself having Huntington's disease / ADD/ADHD/ COPD / PAD / Severe Anxiety and Type 2 Diabetes!! Now I've been collecting social security for 23 years. I don't think my kids have it, but one of them I only saw him when he was in diapers before he was taken away by his rich adopted aunt and uncle on some island around Torrington, C.T because his mother did crack cocaine but I was never a user of any drugs other than prescription drugs due to all my symptoms! Very sad life, and I don't wan't him to see me or meet up with me because I'm not worthy!
Why aren't you worthy?
@@katydid1600 I feel I wouldn't be a good example of a dad having been charged as an offender when I was 19 dating a 15 year old. Oh well.....life sucks!!!
Let your son be the judge of that. I'm so sorry about Huntington's.
Praying for you.
I spend time with JP Jr and he had made great progress. He is such a fighter and I admire him so much. His buddy Darlene deserves recognition for being an amazing person too. JP's book by Sylvia Wilkinson...50/50 is a great read and $ goes to research.
Tell John Paul Jr to leave the proceeds of his book to the families of the missing women. He never helped or exposed the truth about his fathers involvement and whereabouts. That is a fact!
JP IS easy to find....you tell him what you need to say. Why is he responsible for what you say his father did. The PO PO can find jr easily enough. I am sure whatever you are talking about is a tragedy, but you are barking up the wrong tree.
MrTopanga44 Jr has lung cancer and Darlene Gray has been complicit for years to prevent anyone to get to Jr to talk about this. She also is in control of all communications between Jr and Sr
@@leegan9347 seek professional help
MrTopanga44 you are an asshole!

Keep fighting,John! Forget the critics,and God bless you!
WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE KIDS WHEN THEY KNOW HUNTINGTON IS IN THEIR FAMILY ?
George Kafantaris It’s not guaranteed the disease will continue among family members, including their children.
Why don't people who have cancer stop having kids your comment is ridiculous and one day you'll see it.
@@raphaelcoyle8964 it is not a ridiculous comment. This is the worse disease ever. Why even take a chance of passing this disease to your own children.
How would you know ?
#drojeabacha best herbs
This man is disgusting, he is a criminal just like his father and has done nothing to help the FBI track his father down His father is a murderer!
You're incredibly cruel and selfish if you know you have the Huntington's gene and still have kids.
