KATHY SENECAL
Chapter Director
My name is Kathy Senecal, and with the help of Sarah Pashe, we have formed FSHD Connecticut Connections. We began monthly meetings, first on site at a specific location, and then found using Zoom online was convenient and reached more people. The encouragement, support, exchange of ideas, and experiences we share as a group empowers us, as well as the FSHD Society, as it moves forward towards our common goal of treatment and cure.
