Welcome to the Columbus Chapter!
Thank you for visiting the Columbus Chapter of the FSHD Society, established July 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.
Sharegiver Hour
To all who are caregivers to FSHD loved ones! Join us for our Sharegivers Hour on 4th Tuesday of every month from 8-9pm EST. You will find this to be a safe place to share and listen to each other about our day to day situations. We invite you to join us!
Join us for the 2023 Walk & Roll to Cure FSHD!
Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 23rd, 2023 for our Annual Columbus Chapter Walk & Roll to Cure FSHD, at Coffman Park Pavilion. Walk & Roll to Cure FSHD is an event that unites the FSHD community to raise awareness of FSHD and move us closer to our goal of disease-modifying treatments to families by 2025. Help us meet our fundraising goal of $50,000 this year and light the way to a cure!
