Please join us on September 26 to raise awareness and funds for the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) to cure Friedreich's Ataxia (FA)! Visit curefa.org/RFMG to register or donate. Matt DiIorio's mission was to help others with FA experience the benefits of FARA and its tremendous community, which has converted an FA diagnosis from a lonely place of uncertainty into one full of hope and optimism. Today, we are honored to carry Matt's mission forward and help FARA continue the momentum from the FDA’s announcement in February 2023 of the first approved treatment for FA! The DiIorio, Hopkins, Fielding, Therrien FAmilies, and the entire FARA community sincerely thank you for your support.
