Join us at the Huntington Society of Canada to share your hopes and dreams for 2009! Our “One for Me, One for HD” campaign will inspire you to share one personal goal and one goal for our urgent cause that calls both of us to action - a cause we are devoted to! And you’ll be able to see what others in the HD community are energized and passionate about!
Through “One for Me, One for HD” we are reminded that each and every one of us can fulfil dreams for ourselves and for others, which enriches our own lives and the lives of those around us. Only by making personal commitments and stretching ourselves will we make the greatest strides forward.
35 years ago, a small group of insistent volunteers took action that transformed the lives of everyone connected to the HD community. Their personal goal – to connect and unite HD families in the shared struggle with a cruel and misunderstood disease – became our cause, and people in Canada confronting Huntington’s finally had a place to turn for compassion, understanding and hope.
In honour of this 35th commemorative year, one of our generous supporters has offered to provide us with an extra 35% on every dollar that we raise together from now until the end of June. Please, read on about our recent accomplishments and give to our “One for Me, One for HD” campaign!
Today, we continue to take action each and every day to end HD. About HD research, 0ur Research Council Chair Dr. Ray Truant, recently said: “It’s happening at a very fast pace. I’ve never seen anything in science move this fast”. Dr. Truant used this analogy: “You think, if I have to dig a 10-kilometre trench with one of those plastic shovels, it’s going to take five years. But as you’re working on it, people are giving you bigger and better shovels, and at some point someone’s going to give you a motorized backhoe. We don’t have the backhoe yet. Right now we’re working with some really nice shovels.”
And at the heart of what we do are our HD families. We are developing a brand new program, Youth for HD, focused on the unique needs of children growing up with HD in their family and in their uncertain future. Young people are instrumental in building this program, ensuring that Youth for HD is a real and honest reflection of what kids experience and need. Like all our programs for the HD community, it is a dynamic partnership between our families and HSC.
Help us celebrate 35 years with a special gift today. This exciting gift incentive is a fantastic opportunity to join our monthly giving program, Our Champions of Hope and give an enduring gift to the fight against HD. Every dollar you give every month will be matched by 35% from now until the end of June, so please, take a moment and make your gift today!
