Watch the flowers bloom as we get closer to our match! 

The Canning Family (Tom, Tim, John, Joe, Mary, Ann) legacy revolves around HD. Three generations - but in 2025 they know that HD has not been passed down to the next generation. Amid their challenges living with HD, the Canning Family now offers you an opportunity to tell your own family story, to plant seeds of hope for HD families, and to help HD Reach bloom this spring.

Our spring campaign – Hope for Generations – is supported by a $10,000 match from the Canning Family. Our total goal is to reach $20,000.

Your contribution to the Hope for Generations campaign will support HD Reach programs and services:

  • Resources - weekday coverage of calls for support and resource referral from HD patients and caregivers (over 700 calls a year)
  • Answers - anonymous genetic testing, therapy support before, during and after genetic testing; (since its inception, we have provided testing to over 50 individuals)
  • Connection - monthly in-person support throughout the State (6 locations!)
  • Information - a bi-monthly newsletter full of activities, events, resources and news for the HD community (circulated to over 1200 people each issue)
  • Education - professional training for facility staff, community first responders and physician staff seeking to more deeply serve their families; (virtual and 1:1)
  • and our commitment to deliver HOPE during scary, uncertain times (for 15 years!)

Please help us reach our goal of $20,000! This campaign ends on June 6, 2025. 

Thank you for considering a gift to HD Reach. Our community is a better place to live because of people just like you.

I was diagnosed with Huntington's disease over 25 years ago. My mother died at the age of 63 years old and she was symptomatic for the most part of my 3 children's lives growing up. They saw her throughout her disease and will see me through my journey. They are all at risk for this disease and our hope is that a cure finds its way soon to put an end to it. I rely on prayers and the support of this community as I continue to navigate with positivity, love, and taking things day by day. I continue to pray for this community and although I am finding many things more difficult than before to be able to do, I continue to have hope for a cure.
