2022 Light it Up 4 HD
For so many years, Huntington disease (HD) has been kept secret in families, due to stigma and discrimination. The #LightItUp4HD campaign is a wonderful opportunity for those with HD to raise awareness, make connections, receive support from their communities, and move forward with pride and dignity. The more people understand the disease, the more they can extend support to individuals and families facing HD. The month of May is designated as HD Awareness Month and every year, we invite landmarks and buildings to #LightItUp4HD across Canada in May. To learn more about #LightItUp4HD, click here.
The final tally for #LightItUp4HD around the world was 250 sites, 83 in Canada and 167 in 13 participating countries, including new-to-the-campaign Italy and India.
A RECORD-BREAKING YEAR!
Check below for a list of this year’s participating sites. You can also view an album of sites illuminated in blue and purple on our Facebook page.
Thank you to our volunteers who worked tirelessly to liaise with sites to light up and for taking photos to share with our community.
