Join the Vancouver Chapter as we walk for Huntington disease (HD) this May alongside Huntington Society of Canada (HSC) chapters and participants Nationwide.  ​​

This year, the Vancouver Walk is in person!  Choose to join us live on May 7th at Milton Wong Plaza or walk virtually in your own neighbourhood.  Regardless of how you choose to participate, be sure to track all kilometers and fundraise to help us reach our goal!
