Thank you for visiting the North Texas Chapter (formerly known as the Dallas Chapter) of the FSHD Society!

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.

Texas Community Social Hour
Wednesday, June 5, 2024
Join us for a special Texas Social Hour and come catch-up with old friends or make some new. It's been a little over a month since we gathered as a community together for the Texas FSHD 360, but we already have folks who want to continue building on the connections they made. Many attendees were disappointed they weren't able to exchange contact info during the excitement of the day, which is why we'd like to host this social hour as an opportunity to get together again. Whether you were able to attend or not, we'd like to open this social hour to the entire Texas community so that we can have casual conversation, offer each support, and share a few stories as a group.
If you are unable to attend this social hour, but would like to share your contact information with the group, please fill out this form >>
If you are able to attend, please use the below button to RSVP for the event.
