ALLISON CALDER
Chapter Director
I am thrilled to be a part of building a strong chapter here in Utah. FSHD became part of my life in 2013 when my husband, Curtis, was diagnosed at age 29. As a nurse, I immediately dove in, learning about the mechanisms of the disease and how it would affect our little family. The FSHD Society was an incredible resource, and becoming part of this great community has helped our family immensely. I look forward to meeting more people in our Utah community whose lives are affected by FSHD. We will work together to support each other and move toward our common goal of a treatment and cure. Curt and I live in Salt Lake City with our 4 children. We started our business, Anson Calder, shortly after Curt was diagnosed and use our business to support the FSHD Society’s mission.
