Welcome to the North Texas Chapter!
Thank you for visiting the North Texas Chapter (formerly known as the Dallas 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.

Glen Denehie
Chapter Director
My name is Glen Denehie and I am the Chapter Director for the North Texas Chapter.
The cornerstones for our North Texas Chapter are : Community, Hope, Healing, Awareness
We believe there is power in these cornerstones and these cornerstones will provide a safe and solid place for impacted individuals to get help as well as have the opportunity to help others as we take this journey together.
I have been married to my amazing wife, Beth, for 27 years. We have two teenage sons who make our circus complete.
Though I call Dallas home now, I grew up in South Mississippi and Louisiana. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Louisiana- Lafayette and graduate studies at the University of Dallas.
