May is Huntington Disease Awareness Month and a local volunteer has arranged to have the falls lit up in purple and blue in honor of the month.
Cindy Moore's daughter Erin has Juvenile Huntingon disease.
Tomorrow, May 18th, which is Erin’s birthday, Niagara Falls will take part in the "LightItUp4HD" global illumination campaign to raise awareness about the debilitating disease.
Huntington disease is a brain disorder that is fatal and incurable.
About one in every 7,000 Canadians has HD and approximately one in every 5,500 is at-risk of developing the disease.
