“There was a time when those of us with FSHD might not have known anyone with FSHD outside of our families.” Nearly 30 years after his diagnosis, Don Burke drove around the US and Canada for 93 days, including a stop at the 2024 FSHD Connect Conference in Denver. Join us for a heartwarming episode featuring Don as he shares stories and insights from his most recent trip and years of previous adventures. A “Midwest nice” risk taker, Don wants everyone with FSHD to enjoy life to the fullest. “We have to take risks. We have to plan more than most. I have to adapt so that I never say, ‘I regret not trying that.’”

No one knows the experience of living with FSHD better than those who have it. FSHD Straight Talk features stories of life with this rare disease. Tune in to learn from, laugh, celebrate and sometimes grieve with fellow members of the FSHD community. Whatever your journey, we hope you’ll find yourself in these episodes and know you are not alone. 

On the second and fourth Tuesday of every month, listen for a new episode of FSHD Straight Talk with Tim Hollenback! These episodes highlight members of the FSHD Community who are living rich, full lives and diving into their experiences with FSHD. 

If you would like to share your experiences living with FSHD, please reach out via email or send us a message on social media.
