4 1. KEY MESSAGES These messages include key information about HD and the event to help you communicate consistently and effectively when writing or speaking about the issue and the upcoming gathering. 4
5 KEY MESSAGES 1. Huntington Disease (HD) is an incurable genetic brain disorder affecting nearly one million people globally. It is among the most common hereditary brain disorders, yet few people know about it and no cure exists. HD causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, deteriorating a person s physical and mental abilities. It begins with personality changes and progresses to loss of body function, eventually robbing the person of the ability to talk, walk, swallow, think and reason. 2. Stigma around HD has forced those affected by the disease to hide in shame for generations, hindering the availability of services to improve their daily lives. People with symptomatic HD have uncontrolled, irregular, rapid, jerky movements, called chorea, cognitive challenges such as loss of speed and flexibility in thinking and memory loss, and psychiatric disorders including depression and anxiety. These symptoms have forced families affected by HD to hide in shame for fear of public criticism, discrimination and unfair treatment. They feel alone, marginalized and rejected. 3. For the first time ever on May 18, Pope Francis will recognize the devastating plight of those living with and affected by HD. He will host what is expected to be the world s largest gathering of the HD community to drive awareness of HD and to lift the stigma around the disease. The global gathering was inspired by the plight of HD families from around the world, including South America where disease prevalence is 100 to 1,000 times higher than in other places in the world. Families from Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina will travel to meet with Pope Francis and join an audience of thousands HD advocates and supporters. The historic event is being led by a global coalition of HD advocates, called HDdennomore ( Oculta Nunca Más in Spanish and Mai Più Nascosta in Italian). The leaders of this effort were instrumental in bringing this issue to Pope Francis. 4. Action is needed now to reverse the stigma and improve the lives of people affected by HD. By working together, we can raise awareness, increase understanding and mobilize action to ensure that HD is Hidden No More. 5. Be a part of history.

SAMPLE LETTERS/ S These letters/ s can be distributed to local government representatives, religious leaders and other local organizations to bring their attention to Huntington s disease, the plight of those affected, and/or encourage them to attend the event. We encourage you to customize the letter with local information to make it most relevant to the local community leaders to whom you are communicating. 6
7 LETTER TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY REPRESENTATIVES (SOUTH AMERICA FOCUS) People often say that, as a mother, there s nothing more heartbreaking than hearing that your child is sick.

11 MEDIA ALERT POPE FRANCIS TO MEET WITH THE GLOBAL HUNTINGTON S COMMUNITY TO SHINE A LIGHT ON AND LIFT STIGMA OF DISEASE WHAT: WHEN: WHERE: Pope Francis special audience with the Huntington s Disease community in solidarity with South America Thursday, May 18, 2017 at 10 a.m. CEST (doors open at 8 a.m. CEST) Aula Paolo VI (Sala Nervi), Vatican City, Rome Pope Francis will be the first pope to recognize Huntington s disease (HD) and welcome what is expected to be the world s largest gathering of the HD community to the Vatican. The global gathering was inspired by the plight of families from South America where prevalence of the disease is among the world s highest. Families from Colombia, Venezuela and Argentina will travel to meet with Pope Francis and join an international audience of thousands affected by HD at the Vatican to drive awareness and lift the stigma around the disease. Huntington s disease is an incurable genetic brain disorder affecting nearly one million people globally. It has no cure. The disease deteriorates a person s physical and mental abilities often during their prime working years. The symptoms of HD, including involuntary movements as well as cognitive and psychiatric challenges, have forced many of those affected to hide the disease for fear of public criticism, discrimination and unfair treatment. Through the participation of families living in Venezuela s Lake Maracaibo, the huntingtin gene was identified nearly 25 years ago, helping catalyze critical research and interventions to improve the lives of those affected by HD. Yet few treatments exist and the disease continues unabated globally. The event is part of HDdennomore pronounced Hidden No More (Oculta Nunca Más in Spanish and Mai Più Nascosta in Italian) a global initiative of HD patient advocates. Media Opportunities: 1. Pre-event interview opportunities: Researchers, physicians and patients of the HDdennomore coalition closely connected to and responsible for organizing the meeting with Pope Francis. 2. On-site media roundtable with families from South America and HD advocates: A media roundtable will be held on May 17 in advance of the gathering. Details to follow. 3.
