About the Campaign
How Every Step for Huntington's turns daily exercise into direct community support.
Our Story
**Every Step for Huntington’s** was born out of a desire to make community fundraising deeply personal, highly visible, and incredibly simple. We believe that huge change doesn’t always require complicated athletic events or advanced wearable gear. Sometimes, all it takes is a commitment to walk, a minor financial pledge, and an open platform built on transparency and trust.
Whether you take 5,000 steps walking the dog, commute on foot, or run weekend trails, your effort counts. By pledging a small fraction of a cent per step, you turn your everyday routine into a physical contribution for those who need it most.
The Challenge we Support
What is Huntington's Disease?
Huntington’s disease is a rare, hereditary neurodegenerative disorder. It damages nerve cells in the brain, gradually deteriorating physical movements, cognitive abilities, and psychological health. Often described as having Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and ALS combined, its impact on individuals and their families is profound.
The **Huntington’s Disease Association (HDA)** is dedicated to supporting anyone affected by the disease. They offer crucial advice, support networks, specialized educational materials, and fund clinical studies to pave the way for a future cure.
Why Step Pledges Work
Financial commitments are often difficult to maintain or feel distant. By linking pledges directly to your physical step count, we make your support visible and rewarding:
- **Personal Progress:** You walk for your own physical health while helping others.
- **Decimal Accuracy:** Suggested micro-pledges (like €0.01 per step) protect your wallet while aggregating to meaningful totals at scale.
- **Zero Broker Fees:** We process **no payments**. You donate directly to the charity, ensuring 100% of your funds go to HDA without transaction deductions from us.
