Welcome to the Bay Area Chapter!
Thank you for visiting the Bay Area Chapter of the FSHD Society! We are here to build a local community of patients, family and friends, and help them connect and advocate for themselves and each other. Our hope for the future is to find a cure – Until then, we hope to bring a greater awareness to the community, and to help improve the quality of life of all those affected.
Thank you for supporting the Walk & Roll in 2022!
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who walked, rolled, donated, and showed up on Sunday, Sept. 18th in Sharon Park in Menlo Park, CA! We are thrilled to announce that we raised almost $15,000!!!
