NEW DATE AND TIME: Second Monday of the month

This month, we will share holiday stories – what you enjoy, what stresses you out – and share ideas for getting through it all. The Everything Early Onset group hopes to engage adults of all ages living with early-onset FSHD and build a community where we can share our experiences and support one another. It will be a space to connect, find understanding, build friendships, and share valuable insights. We hope to offer a mixture of social, educational, and otherwise enriching topics.
