What is Huntington's disease? | What is HDSA?
 

​iMPACT HD is:
  • Do it yourself fundraising. You set up your own page and fundraise on your terms.
  • Quick. You don't need to wait on anybody else to get started.
  • Flexible. It can be done anywhere, at any time, for any reason, and for as long or as short of period as you'd like.
  • Easy.  Well, really that's up to you.  You can make it hard if you want to!  
  • Self Managed.  You are in charge of your fundraiser in its entirety (but we will support you if you need us!)
  • Creative. All you need is an idea and a fundraising page.
 
Examples of past HD events include:
  • Birthday fundraisers. Instead of asking for gifts, set up a page and ask for donations.
  • Athletic events. Whether it's running, riding, cycling, hiking, yoga, spinning, curling, a volleyball tournament, or walking, ask your friends to pledge money to support your event. 
  • Raffles.You can list items to be raffled off and set a ticket amount. The more money a person donates, the more tickets they get.  Then raffle off your items.
  • HD Awareness month fundraising.  Participate in #LetsTalkAboutHD in the month of May and share your story, set up an iMPACT HD page to share with your posts.

What is Huntington’s disease? 
Huntington’s disease is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities usually during their prime working years and has no cure. Every child of a parent with HD has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the faulty gene that causes the disease. Today, there are approximately 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease. Huntington’s disease is described as having ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – simultaneously. HD is characterized by a triad of symptoms, including progressive motor dysfunction, behavioral disturbance and cognitive decline.

What is the Huntington’s Disease Society of America?
