2026 LIGHT IT UP 4 HD
Throughout the month of May, communities across the globe light up in blue and purple to raise awareness for Huntington disease (HD) and Juvenile Huntington disease (JHD).
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.
