    Christi Thissen

    Christi Thissen is proud to be part of the local Northeast Florida FSHD chapter and is passionate about bringing people together. Diagnosed with FSHD in 1998 at the age of 19, she understands the challenges that come with the condition. Christi owns an IT Managed Services company in Jacksonville, which she runs with her big brother, who also has FSHD.

    Through the chapter, Christi helps create a space where people affected by FSHD can share stories, exchange resources, and support one another. She believes that building a strong local community helps people navigate their journey with FSHD and allows them to connect with others who are facing similar challenges.

Volunteer with the Chapter

While Christi is powering the path forward, we’re always looking for passionate individuals to help with planning events, spreading the word, and working on other projects. Your involvement will make a big difference in growing the chapter and supporting those affected by FSHD.
