Show your support and VOTE!

Show your support and VOTE!

Our young people need your help! Please read the message below and click on the link to cast a vote. For those of you who aren't aware our young people have formed a Chapter called Young People Affected by Huntington Disease or YPAHD for short.

YPAHD has entered a competition sponsored by the Aviva Community Fund to raise much-needed funds. If their idea receives enough votes, it will have a chance at sharing in $500,000!
Please vote for HD Youth - UNITE THE FIGHT right now and pass this on to as many contacts/friends/family as possible.

What do I do to help?
Go online and vote for the idea -- If this idea receives enough votes it will move to the sem- final competition.

When should I help?
Right now! We have only 5 days before this round of the competition closes

How do I vote?
1. http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf18532. Please register (it’s easy, requires very little information and takes less than a minute) and vote for the idea 3. You can also add a comment which would be a real boost to the youth in YPAHD who are working very hard to make this event a reality

THE IDEA…
YPAHD is to establish HD Youth - UNITE THE FIGHT- a grassroots series of 5 km run/ walks or other events which would take place in 10 major cities across Canada – from coast to coast. Planned by youth for youth, with the help of HSC, these grassroots events would bring youth together from the HD community and beyond to educate people about HD, eliminate the stigma by normalizing this disease, build leadership skills, and create a platform for youth to be heard across Canada.

A great big THANK YOU for your support!
