Drs. Jeffrey and Sara Palmer
Ending suffering from HHT within this generation is not a pipedream. We are close. Finally – and confidently – we can say that. The work our foundation has done over the last 30+ years to expand our understanding of this disease has put us in a position to leverage rapid advancements in science and medicine to make transformative leaps in the years ahead.
It is no longer a matter of how we can produce better treatments, and one day, curative therapies. But truly how quickly we can get it done. Enough is enough. The time to act is NOW.
To accelerate what is truly possible, we are engaging in the most ambitious undertaking in our history; a comprehensive, $12 million campaign – Called to Cure: Generation to end HHT.
As part of this campaign, we are calling upon our mighty community to unite so that we can end the years of suffering, pain, and loss for so many HHT families. These funds will help bring long-awaited relief to those suffering today, and help ensure the next generation never knows that pain.
We are calling on you to make this happen. Let this be the generation who ends HHT.
Hear from Drs. Jeffrey and Sara Palmer, two lifelong HHT advocates, on why they felt now was the right time to make a generous contribution to our organization and the Called to Cure Campaign. Through their gift, we've established the Palmer Family Fund for Young Scholars. This fund provides awards to rising medical and scientific professionals to attend important HHT scientific meetings and gives small research grants to early career investigators whose work has the potential to advance HHT treatment.

FAQ
For more than 30 years we’ve worked toward a goal that always felt just beyond our reach. A cure for HHT felt like a hope and a dream – one worth chasing, but one that felt so far away. There was so much work that needed to be done.
Things are different now.
We’ve done the work, and now for the first time ever we can say that we will find a cure in this generation.
“Called to Cure: Generation to End HHT” is a transformational $12 million campaign — the most ambitious in our history as a community and organization — that will mean we end this disease for good.
