The Story behind Move4HHT

A Legacy of Hope: The Story Behind HHT Ireland’s Moveathon Move4HHT

HHT Ireland stands as a beacon of hope and support for families grappling with the realities of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT), a rare genetic disorder that affects the blood vessels. Our mission is deeply rooted in the experiences and memories of those we have lost, particularly one young man whose life and legacy inspire us to move forward with relentless determination.

Paul Woods was a vibrant young man, full of dreams and aspirations. At just 22 years old, his life was tragically cut short by HHT, a condition he had lived with but had not allowed to define him. Paul’s sudden and unexpected death shook his family, friends, and the entire HHT community to its core. His passing illuminated the urgent need for increased awareness, better understanding, and more comprehensive support for those living with HHT.

Paul’s story is not just one of loss, but of inspiration.

So in his memory, Lets #Move4HHT
