Walk & Roll Teams

 

Whether you’re walking and rolling with us in person or participating virtually, every step leads to one powerful moment: the Walk & Roll to Cure FSHD.

From now until then, we invite you to team up and help drive progress toward a cure for FSHD.

Teams are the heart of the FSHD Community. They bring people together, build connections, and amplify our impact. Starting or joining a team is simple—and when we unite, we’re stronger than FSHD.

Ready to get started? Let’s do this—together!

Team Captain Toolkit

Teams are where the Walk & Roll comes alive. They’re families, friend groups, workplaces, gyms, schools, and communities showing up together; lifting each other up and building a louder voice for the FSHD community. 

When people fundraise as a team, they don’t just raise more; they create belonging. Every new teammate is one more person learning about FSHD, sharing your story, and bringing us closer to what every family wants: real progress
