Huntington's Disease Youth Organization

International Young Adults Congress 2020

In May 2020 the Huntington's Disease Youth Organisation (HDYO) is holding the first International Young Adult congress in Glasgow, Scotland! This event will be the largest ever gathering of young adults impacted in some way by HD. The congress will give these young people the opportunity to meet HD researchers and other young people with similar experiences.

HDYO has set up a scholarship fund to support people from all backgrounds to attend and the Stout lab at Monash University is helping!

Join them at one of the fundrasing events below or donate directly!
