Walk 4 Hope
Each year, Huntington’s Australia hosts the Walk 4 Hope. Join the 4km community walk and step together to support people impacted by Huntington’s disease.
Beginning in NSW in 2014, Walk 4 Hope is a national event, with walks taking place across seven locations around Australia.
Join us for this community event, as families and friends stand together, share their journeys, and remind each other that no one has to face Huntington’s disease alone.
What is the Walk 4 Hope?
The Walk 4 Hope began in NSW in 2014 and in 2024 became a national event with 7 walks taking place around the country. As many people impacted by Huntington’s disease experience isolation, the walk was created to be inclusive, enabling everyone to take part and to create hope for HD.
This year, we’re calling on individuals and organisations to join us at the Walk 4 Hope and raise vital funds for the HD community in this friendly 4km journey.
Why your support is so important
Huntington’s disease (HD) is an inherited degenerative neurological condition affecting the brain and central nervous system. It progressively impairs mental and physical abilities. About 2,400 Australians were estimated to be living with HD in 2024.
- Each child has a 50% (one in two) chance of inheriting HD from their parent with Huntington’s disease.
- Huntington’s disease affects an individual’s ability to think, plan, speak, swallow and walk.
- Huntington’s disease typically manifests between ages 35 and 50, and symptoms worsen over a 10 to 25 year period.
Your fundraising goes directly to people and families impacted by Huntington’s disease. With your help, we can continue providing services and support such as carer groups, counselling, and connection with others in the HD community.
