For many years, families affected by Huntington disease (HD) have kept it a secret due to the negative perceptions and biases surrounding the illness.
The #LightItUp4HD campaign presents an excellent opportunity for individuals with HD to raise awareness, build relationships, receive encouragement from their communities, and move ahead with a sense of pride and respect.
Every May is designated as HD Awareness Month in Canada, and landmarks and buildings are encouraged to participate in the #LightItUp4HD campaign.
