How you can help

FSHD is more than a diagnosis, it’s a life-changing journey that affects individuals, families, and communities. But hope is stronger than this disease, and you have the power to make a difference. Every action you take—whether donating, advocating, volunteering, or fundraising—brings us closer to treatments, a cure, and a future where no one faces FSHD alone.
