Year End Appeal – Curing for Generations
Curing for Generations is more than a campaign slogan, it is our commitment to the thousands of families affected by HHT and a promise to never give up!
For many, HHT has taken far too much – families whose photo albums include faces of loved ones lost, whose lives were cut short because of this disease – as well as pictures of those who don’t yet know the journey that lies ahead. But in those albums, there is also hope — like the sweet face of baby Rachel Erickson, whose life was saved by the quick intervention of Cure HHT and the skilled expertise of an HHT physician.

Help save lives this Giving Tuesday
Establishing new Centers of Excellence is essential to providing life-saving, expert HHT care to patients across the globe – including our littlest of patients like Jahier, Liam and Willie.
One of the many ways your donations will be put to use this Giving Tuesday is by helping to expand our pediatric reach – to certify more HHT Centers of Excellence with pediatric specialists – and grow the number of physicians educated about HHT. This is especially important for pediatric patients, where HHT can be more difficult to diagnose as symptoms do not often manifest until later in life. Early screening and expert treatment is vital to preventing complications and avoiding unneeded suffering and loss.

A Monumental $128 Million Step Forward for HHT Research
Today is a monumental day for HHT. The new biotechnology company, Diagonal Therapeutics, officially launched and we wanted to share more about why this is news you simply can’t miss!
In short, Diagonal’s lead program is focused on developing an innovative treatment not just to alleviate the symptoms of HHT – but using antibodies to reverse the formation of vascular malformations altogether. That’s right, there is now a biotechnology company, backed by $128 million in Series A financing, focused entirely on a curative HHT therapy.
For months, Cure HHT has been collaborating with Diagonal’s management team to help make this day a reality. We have connected them to leading HHT scientists to help them further develop their program, and have spent countless hours meeting with venture capital firms to educate them on the burden of this disease and help Diagonal secure funding to launch.
