LANDON & MARIE MORRELL
Chapter Directors
Landon and several family members have FSHD to varying degrees. After watching this disease progress for decades, it’s exciting to see the recent advancements in research. The FSHD Society plays a significant role in that progress. We’re excited to participate in the Chapter program to increase awareness and education of our Arizona families and communities. We look forward to helping build connections among patients, care givers, health care providers, and others affected by the disease.
Landon owns a business that designs custom homes and Marie is a Vice President and in-house attorney with a local manufacturing company.
