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.
