Welcome to the Idaho Chapter!
Founded by Minette Hale in January 2020, the goals of the Chapter Program here in the Idaho area are to:
- Increase awareness and educate families throughout Idaho.
- Help build connections among patients, care givers, health care providers and others affected by this disease.
- Harness the power of those shared connections allowing us all to gain strength, support and encouragement as we push forward in finding a cure for FSHD.
- Last but not least let’s HAVE SOME FUN while we accomplish these goals!
Please join our chapter via the "Stay informed on Local Activities" form on the right. We'll make sure you receive updates about future events and plans!

Meet Your Chapter Director
Minette Hale
Minette comes from a strong family line of FSH Muscular Dystrophy. She and 6 of her 8 siblings have inherited the disorder from her father and grandmother. It has been a huge part of not only her life, but her immediate and extended family as well. Having people in her life who can relate to her struggles has been a strength. She hopes, as a chapter director, to help others feel support from their FSHD family as we are all brothers and sisters in this disease.
