TIM HOLLENBACK
Chapter Director
Before my diagnosis in 2016, I never heard of FSHD. The day of the diagnosis I was shocked and scared.
I looked for support. I found it with my wife, Angie and our two sons Carter and Chase. I also found it in the FSHD Society.
I immediately volunteered to host a podcast and helped create a great global presence for others needing support.
I am excited to be the director of the Wisconsin Chapter group and help others locally. This Wisconsin chapter will rise as one to support, educate, and of course raise funds to cure this disease.
