HD Reach is excited to announce we will be providing a scholarship to one young adult to experience the Huntington’s Disease Youth Organization’s (HDYO) in-person Young Adult Congress in Glasgow, Scotland on March 17-March 19th, 2023. This will be the first international conference where young adults who are all impacted by Huntington’s Disease will be able to meet in one place.
