Why the Huntington’s Disease Association?

Fundraising for the Huntington’s Disease Association and being part of #TeamHDA is rewarding and makes a huge difference to those living with Huntington’s disease – we need your support to keep delivering the life-changing service we offer.

 


If you get your own place

That’s great news – you can still join #TeamHDA and raise vital funds for our life-changing services. There’s no minimum sponsorship amount, as you have purchased your own place, we just ask that you raise what you can and to help those in the Huntington’s community! Email the team at fundraising@hda.org.uk to let the team know, and you will receive a fundraising pack.

 


If you are successful in your entry, you will receive:

  • A free sports vest or t-shirt to wear on the day with your name printed on the front.
  • A welcome email and fundraising toolkit from our friendly fundraising team.
  • Support from our dedicated fundraising team to help you reach your target.
  • An invite to the Huntington's Disease Fundraising Facebook group
