The FSH(facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy) Society’s mission is to accelerate the development of therapies while empowering individuals affected by FSHD. “Our goal is to deliver a treatment and cure to our families by the year 2025,” declared the Society’s President and CEO, Mark Stone.
FSHD is among the most prevalent of the nine primary types of muscular dystrophy affecting adults and children. The genetic condition is estimated to affect 870,000 individuals worldwide and causes progressive weakness, typically in the face, shoulder blade, arms, legs, and torso, but may affect almost any skeletal muscle in the body. There is currently no treatment or cure and approximately one-quarter of patients become dependent on wheelchairs.
Thank you to all of our participants and generous sponsors—Bill Seibert, Greg and Elizabeth Gerhard, LCNB National Bank, Richard Wood, Sr., Hanger Clinic, CIVISTA BANK, Aumiller Strategies, The Winchester Institute, Schmidt’s Restaurant & Hospitality, and Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Research Institute Center for Gene Therapy—for helping us reach our goal of $50,000!
