Good evening! For anyone who is planning on coming to the baseball game fundraiser next weeknon 9/16, the game looks like itโ€™s going to sell out so we need a final headcount tomorrow. If you want to attend the game with us, please register here before the end of day tomorrow 9/6

I am participating in the Walk & Roll to cure FSHD! Your donation will move us closer to treatments and a cure for FSH muscular dystrophy. The Walk & Roll builds connections, empowers community members, raises awareness, and, most importantly, funds critical research.

We had wonderful time last month at the NE Florida 2022 Walk and Roll. This year it was at the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp game! We raised over $16,000 for the FSHD Society Northeast Florida and we are grateful for everyone that donated and came out to support our efforts! There are several clinical trials that are starting in the next 12 months to help us battle this disease. We can see a cure on the horizon and are keeping up hope to see one before 2025. Thanks again for your support and we hope to see you again next year!!
