Funds raised go toward research into treatments and support programs for families
(KITCHENER) Oct. 27, 2011 – Did you know that November is Amaryllis month? It is at The Huntington Society of Canada (HSC) and we are kicking it into high gear as October is drawing to a close.

Historically the amaryllis is symbolic of success won after a struggle and often given in recognition of a job well done. Today it has also come to symbolize pride and determination, especially for us at HSC. After 31 years, The Huntington Society of Canada’s Amaryllis Campaign continues to grow and blossom, thanks to the tremendous determination of our dedicated national volunteer network.

HSC’s Annual Amaryllis Campaign helps raise funds that go towards research to find a meaningful treatment, and programs to improve the lives of Canadians across the country that are living the with effects of Huntington disease each and every day.

Funds will also help us end genetic discrimination, in partnership with Canadian Coalition for Genetic Fairness (CCGF), an organization which represents 18 hereditary genetic diseases, including Huntington disease, Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s , in their struggle to ensure all Canadians are treated fairly and not discriminated against because of their DNA.
