What do you know about Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia, (HHT)? It’s hard to spell, impossible to pronounce, and can be a Silent Killer.
- HHT is a long neglected national health problem that affects 1 in 5000 people or 75,000 United States citizens
- HHT is an inherited blood vessel disorder that affects blood vessels in the skin, lungs, brain, liver, nose, and gastrointestinal system
- HHT can result in stroke, hemorrhage, and death
- 20% of those affected by HHT will become disabled or die prematurely
- 9 out of 10 of the HHT population (68,000 US citizens) are not yet diagnosed due to widespread lack of knowledge by medical professionals therefore are at risk
The good news is HHT tragedies can be prevented through early diagnosis and treatment. Your donation can play a part in helping us prevent tragedies. The HHT Foundation, located in Monkton Maryland, is the only advocacy organization fighting for individuals with this disorder.
As part of our HHT Racing Team, you will receive an invitation to our Kick Off Cook Out and a HHT Race Shirt. Whether you run or not, everyone has the ability to set up your own personalized webpage for fundraising to send to friends and family.
