Watch the flowers bloom as we get closer to our match! 

The Canning Family (Tom, Tim, John, Joe, Mary, Ann) legacy revolves around HD. Three generations - but in 2025 they know that HD has not been passed down to the next generation. Amid their challenges living with HD, the Canning Family now offers you an opportunity to tell your own family story, to plant seeds of hope for HD families, and to help HD Reach bloom this spring.

Our spring campaign – Hope for Generations – is supported by a $10,000 match from the Canning Family. Our total goal is to reach $20,000.

Your contribution to the Hope for Generations campaign will support HD Reach programs and services:

  • Resources - weekday coverage of calls for support and resource referral from HD patients and caregivers (over 700 calls a year)
  • Answers - anonymous genetic testing, therapy support before, during and after genetic testing; (since its inception, we have provided testing to over 50 individuals)
  • Connection - monthly in-person support throughout the State (6 locations!)
  • Information - a bi-monthly newsletter full of activities, events, resources and news for the HD community (circulated to over 1200 people each issue)
  • Education - professional training for facility staff, community first responders and physician staff seeking to more deeply serve their families; (virtual and 1:1)
  • and our commitment to deliver HOPE during scary, uncertain times (for 15 years!)

Please help us reach our goal of $20,000! This campaign ends on June 6, 2025. 

Thank you for considering a gift to HD Reach. Our community is a better place to live because of people just like you.

Nathan Wilmoth

byHeather Wilmoth

My husband Nathan was diagnosed on April 16, 2016 with Huntington's Disease. At first, we felt really alone. But after processing Nathan's diagnosis, we made the decision to live our lives as positively as we can. Nathan's disease has progressed, but Nathan is still Nathan. The fun loving, sweet give the shirt off his back, loves his family and friends with all he has. And a smile that has always been and continues to be so infectious you can't help but smile with him. HD has changed the life we thought we were going to have, but it's made us realize how precious life is and how much we truly do love each other. When Nathan was diagnosed, the first thing I said was "Your walk with HD, will not be your Mom's, My walk with HD will not be your Dad's," and it hasn't. Nathan has also participated in clinical trials and wants to continue to do so when allowed. We have two children at risk, we try to fight for them as well as the other families like ours.
