BC Place lights up in advance of HD Awareness Day
May 14th, 2021
BC Place will light up blue and purple tonight in advance of International Huntington Disease (HD) Awareness Day.
Huntington disease (HD) is a hereditary, neurodegenerative illness with physical, cognitive and psychiatric symptoms. To date, there is no cure for Huntington disease; however, there are drugs available to reduce some of the symptoms, and some very promising research is underway. Approximately 1 in 7000 people in Canada has HD.
