The Joe Doran HD Walk takes place at 10.45am Sat July 22^nd at Lough Key Forest and Activity Park.

Joe has Huntington's Disease, following his diagnosis he was determined to raise funds and awareness to support the wider HD community. Joe's first HD Walk was held in Lough Key in 2015 and since then has become a popular annual event for families and friends impacted by HD, particularly in the West of Ireland. Joe loved to walk with his dogs and was a well- known walker in his home town of Longford. Joe is no longer able to join us but we continue to walk in support of Joe and the HD community. 

The Huntington's Disease Association of Ireland (HDAI) is a national charity supporting people impacted by HD, a complex neurodegenerative illness. Services include: a national helpline, a family support officer, counselling, assistance with aids and equipment, specific HD information via publication and our website, support meetings and events. We also advocate for improved services and we share information on research developments which we hope will one day change the course of Huntington’s disease.
