Join the Huntington Heroes across Canada for the National Walk to raise funds to support our Huntington disease (HD) community!

The Huntington Heroes theme celebrates the everyday heroes that make up the HD community – caregivers, professionals, and those at-risk or living with the disease who are compassionate, courageous and committed to support.

There are a variety of in-person walks you can register for this year! Check out your local chapter’s planned activities and then join the fun and fundraising. If you're participating virtually, we are encouraging all participants to walk with us on the last weekend of May, May 25-26. When we come together we can do amazing things!

ALL DONATIONS AND CONTRIBUTIONS MADE TO THIS EVENT BEFORE JUNE 30TH WILL BE MATCHED BY AN ANONYMOUS DONOR DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR!
