2025 LIGHT IT UP 4 HD


Thank You for Lighting It Up for HD!


Throughout the month of May, communities across the globe lit up in blue and purple to raise awareness for Huntington disease (HD) and Juvenile Huntington disease (JHD).

This year’s #LightItUp4HD campaign was a powerful reminder that we are stronger together.

Here’s what we accomplished in 2025:

  • 79 landmarks and sites lit up across Canada
  • 26 sites illuminated for multiple days
  • Participation from 12 countries worldwide

Together, we sparked conversations, built connections, and shone a powerful light on HD. Thank you to everyone who helped spread hope and awareness this May!

View the 2025 photo album on Facebook to see all the beautiful lights from across Canada.
Watch the official 2025 #LightItUp4HD video and relive the magic!


Why #LightItUp4HD Matters


For too long, Huntington disease has been kept in the shadows due to stigma and misunderstanding. #LightItUp4HD is more than a campaign — it’s a chance to raise awareness, make meaningful connections, and show support for those affected by HD and JHD. The more people understand the disease, the more they can extend support to individuals and families facing HD. To learn more about #LightItUp4HD, click here.
