"HD Reach has provided me with unique opportunities to face challenges associated with Huntington's Disease. I have developed emotional strength, coping skills, confidence, and most importantly a sense of belonging through this community. My life has changed for the better and that change started with HD Reach." H Patton

We all know that Huntington’s disease is a family disease — and that, as of today, there is no cure. Whether you are a person with HD, gene negative, at risk, a care partner, child, sibling, friend, neighbor, physician, or employer, the impact of an HD diagnosis is broad and deeply felt.

Even with the challenges, there is hope, joy, progress, resilience, innovation, adaptation, and companionship along the way.

At HD Reach, we hope you’ll consider us part of your family. We are your boots-on-the-ground resource for support, education, referrals, and community — right here, right now. Wherever you are on the path, HD Reach supports you.

Your gift today will help us maximize a generous $30,000 matching gift by December 31st.

Give in honor of someone special, in memory of a loved one, or just because you can.

Together, we keep HD Reach ready to serve — family.

Joe O'Donnell

byKathi O'Donnell

Joe was my first born, he tested positive at the age of 24 with a CAG repeat of 51. Joe was an avid sports fan, loved his Steelers, Notre Dame and Kyle Busch. Joe was tested right after his sister and niece, so I found out all three of them had HD within a four-month period. he was around 30 when symptoms started. Joe wasn't as happy as his sister, he was very depressed and angry in the beginning, but as the disease progressed, he seemed to come to terms with it. Joe passed away in July 2023 at the age of 43, 3 months after his niece. So, HD has now taken my family away. I will miss watching NASCAR with him and rooting for his football teams. I am thankful he is at peace now; he had a very rough last 7 months. I know in my heart he is with Meghan and Alyson and that they are happy. I miss the fact he kept me on my toes and was a bit demanding at times. Miss you Joe , I will keep you in my heart forever
