Move 4 HD with Ollie
For Oliver Scalzo (Ollie), who's aunt’s diagnosis and knowing that his grandfather also lived with Huntington’s disease has shaped his understanding of the condition and motivated him to take action in a deeply personal way. Growing up in a family touched by HD, Ollie has a simple but powerful belief: people cope best when they feel supported in ways that genuinely matter to them. At Huntington’s Victoria, we could not agree more. Having Ollie reach out to us, bring forward this idea, and help make this awareness campaign happen has been a joy to watch. His initiative as a young adult reminds us of the strength of our community; from individuals living with HD to the families and carers who walk alongside them. As an avid cyclist, Ollie has chosen to channel his passion into an incredible awareness initiative: biking around Albert Park Lake for 24 hours straight. His message is simple but powerful “movement matters”. Whether it’s managing the physical symptoms of HD, supporting mental health, or simply improving overall wellbeing, staying active can make a meaningful difference for everyone. Support his cause by buying a dandelion and donating!
