Welcome to the Sacramento Chapter!
Thank you for visiting the Sacramento Chapter of the FSHD Society which officially launched in September 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.
2021 California Walk & Roll a Tremendous Success!
On Saturday, September 18, the Bay Area, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Sacramento chapters came together from across the state for one, amazing day of walking & rolling to Cure FSHD! Walkers and rollers stepped out to say "FSHD Ends with Me!" and our local event raised more than $90,000 towards the campaign total, through participants and teams from across the state.
Stay tuned as we begin the planning for our 2022 Walk & Roll to Cure FSHD!
