We’re proud to announce that CanPKU+ has partnered with HCU Network America for the 7th Annual HCU Race for Research, a virtual event raising critical funds to advance research for Homocystinuria (HCU).

This year, CanPKU+ will collect Canadian dollar donations to support HCU-specific research, with all funds held by our organization and directed toward this shared goal. While we are a not-for-profit and not a registered charity (donations are not eligible for tax receipts), your contribution will directly fund meaningful research initiatives.

To ensure Canadian perspectives are included in these efforts, Melanie Colter, our HCU Representative on the CanPKU+ Board of Directors, will serve on the Global Scientific Advisory Board of HCU Network America. This Board is responsible for reviewing research proposals, making funding decisions, and shaping priorities for HCU research globally.

Join us!
You can support the cause by:

  • Joining the CanPKU+ Racers team and participating in the virtual race—run, walk, or ride from anywhere in Canada

  • Create your own Race team to engage your friends and families to help your efforts in the race 

  • Don't want to race but want to help? Make a donation in Canadian dollars to help advance HCU research. You can choose a specific racer to support or the general CanPKU+ Racers Team.

Please note: Registering for a team on the HCU Network America site will charge a small fee for set up. This includes the costs of items that will be sent to you. It will be charged in USD. If you do not want to incur a USD charge and do not want these items, you do not need to create a team there. You are welcome to join the CanPKU+ Racers team and use the link for CanPKU+ Racers. Share your name and goal with us and we can track your contributions for the Canadian totals!

Together, with your efforts, we can amplify Canadian voices and accelerate progress for those living with HCU.

Thank you for your support and for being part of our mission to bring hope and better outcomes to the HCU community.

Althought HCU Network America is a registered foundation - Canadian donations are not tax deductable. No tax receipt will be issued.
