Welcome to the Chicagoland Chapter!
Thank you for visiting the Chicagoland Chapter of the FSHD Society which officially launched in October 2018. 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.

Save the Date for Our 2020 Walk & Roll!, September 12th!
In recent weeks, all of our worlds have been highly impacted by the corona virus pandemic, yet our commitment to our families remains the same.

DAVE LUKAS
Chapter Director
Dave feels passionately about building a strong chapter in the Chicagoland area because he believes in the power of shared connection through this disease. Whether as someone who’s affected or someone who loves someone who’s affected, building a community around each other allows us all to gain strength, support and encouragement so we can push towards a cure for this disease and be an advocate for us all. Dave lives in the northwest suburbs of Chicago with his wife, 3 kids and Siberian Husky pup.
