Global HHT Awareness Day: June 23, 2018
Every June our community from across all continents comes together for this cause.
On June 23, 2018 we are asking you to step up for a loved one who has HHT.
How? By counting your steps, rocking some red shoelaces and sharing why.
You may take steps because you want a day where HHT is not something you have to worry about.
You may take steps because of your mom, dad, sister, brother, uncle or aunt
who has this disease and is unable to step up themselves.
You may take steps because you want to see a cure for HHT in this lifetime.
Whatever the reason, we hope you will join us and the global HHT community on June 23, 2018.
Let’s all take steps to Cure HHT!
