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.

Sterling Moore

byLaurie Moore

Sterlings grandma, Aunt, 2 uncles and his father all had HD. Sterling tested positive in 2008. He did all the studies and clinical trials he could do and encouraged others to do them as well to help find a cure. 
He was a fun loving, caring and very smart, athletic man. He had a son who fortunately tested negative that was his only biological son so the disease ends there with his family. 

Sterling was struggling with his cognitive abilities and depression and ended up taking his own life, I think it’s important to talk about this as well because I knew he was hurting but not that bad. We need to know the signs. 

He had two grandsons who he LOVED very much and they miss him like crazy.. along with his boys that he raised . He was always the life of the party and always willing to help anyone even a stranger with anything, he was the most giving man I knew and never wanted credit for any of it. 

He LOVED his job as a electrical Lineman/foreman for JEA and worked there for 25 yrs. We were together for 27 yrs and had a beautiful life. I miss him dearly.
