BILL MACLEAN
Chapter Director
Having been a member of the FSHD Society for well over a decade, I recognize the value of a community that shares experiences, techniques for dealing with FSHD and research that will ultimately lead to a treatment and cure. Dealing with this disease alone is very difficult. Having a community to share the burden makes a real difference. My wife provides an incredible level of support and confirms the value of the FSHD Society. This is the reason we decided to start the Philadelphia Chapter.
