HHT Global Awareness Day
Global HHT Awareness Day is just a few days away. Did you know, this date wasn’t chosen at random? It honors the life of Grace Nolan, who sadly passed away at the young age of 9 from complications of HHT. Since then, her family has championed for HHT awareness and research. This year marks the 25th anniversary of Grace’s tragic passing. The Grace Nolan Foundation has generously agreed to match the first $25,000 we raise on June 23rd! Your gift will be DOUBLED!
Visit our HHT Changemakers page today to hear Grace’s story, learn how you can get involved this June and to donate. Learn more >>
