Why should we be aware of only breast cancer? As a brain cancer survivor, I must say this is infuriating.

A woman gets diagnosed with breast cancer and she sees millions of women who have been there. I got diagnosed with brain cancer and I thought I was going to die, because I had never heard of anyone surviving.

Not from a marketing perspective. It's too long.
"X number of people die from this horrific disease. Treatment options are still very limited, but we're only spending $X per year on research. Donate today to save the next generation from Huntington's disease."
The name of the disease isn't helping the cause. It should probably be more recognizable.

House made me aware of it. Damn, that show did raise awareness of a lot, even if sensationalized.
