This year's theme is Behind the Gene.
The invisible challenges and untold stories of Huntington’s disease.
Too often, people affected by Huntington's disease find themselves educating the public about their condition.
Not everyone has heard of Huntington’s disease, and that includes healthcare professionals. A staggering 85% of 150 people asked in a recent survey had to educate a doctor, nurse or healthcare professional about Huntington’s disease. This is just one of the many challenges the Huntington’s community faces. We are trying to change this.
How you can get involved
We will be announcing all the ways that you can get involved in this year's awareness month campaign over the next couple of months. Below are some ideas that you can start to think about ahead of May and register your interest in.
Distributed factsheets
Can you help us by distributed training and awareness factsheets to healthcare settings in your local area? Last year 25 areas were covered
Share your story
You can share quotes or videos with us or even feature in a blog. The theme is your life in a Huntington's family and what you wish others knew about Huntington's disease.
