Welcome to the Bay Area Chapter!
Thank you for visiting the Bay Area Chapter of the FSHD Society! We are here to build a local community of patients, family and friends, and help them connect and advocate for themselves and each other. Our hope for the future is to find a cure – Until then, we hope to bring a greater awareness to the community, and to help improve the quality of life of all those affected.
Join us for the 2023 Walk & Roll to Cure FSHD
Our 2023 annual Bay Area Walk & Roll to Cure FSHD was an amazing success this year! Thank you to everyone who participated and helped raise awareness and funds towards reaching our goal of a cure by 2025. Fundraising will continue through the end of the year.
