Help for Huntington disease can take many forms. Raising awareness is key – please share this message or our social media posts and invite others to do the same. If you are creating your own social media posts, please use #askmeaboutHD – that will help us to find and share your messages of awareness, reaching more people. Raising funds is also critical to our mission to offer family support services and fund research.
