🌍🧡 Today, we recognize World FSHD Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) . I want to take a moment to highlight the incredible work done by my friend Joanne Dalessandro in this important mission.

As a neuromuscular neurologist treating rare diseases, I understand the critical importance of raising awareness for conditions like FSHD. Increased awareness not only fosters understanding but also encourages research and support for those impacted. Joanne’s dedication and passion to create awareness for FSHD is truly inspiring. Her journey and relentless fight against this condition serve as a beacon of hope for many.

In recognition of her efforts, passed a resolution declaring June 20 as FSHD Awareness Day in Illinois in honor of Joanne.

Join me in celebrating her accomplishments and the progress being made in the fight against FSHD. To learn more about Joanne’s initiatives and the ongoing efforts to raise awareness, check out this feature: [FSHD Society - Raising Awareness for FSHD](https://wgntv.com/spotlight-chicago/fshd-society-raising-awareness-finding-a-cure-for-facioscapulohumeral-muscular-dystrophy/).

Together, we can make a difference!

🌟I am thrilled to have participated in the first patient meeting in Puerto Rico: “Together for Myasthenia Gravis.” 🌟

My journey to becoming a neuromuscular neurologist began when my grandmother was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, at a time when I didn’t know about the condition aprox 18yrs ago. Witnessing her journey and the difficulties she faced in finding experts to help her with her condition deeply impacted me. Sadly, she passed away🕊️, but this experience not only motivated me to dedicate my career to neuromuscular diseases and rare disorders like myasthenia gravis, but it also helps me better understand the needs of patients.

It is incredible to be part of a new era for myasthenia gravis with all the advancements in treatments we have today. It is a privilege and an honor to contribute to this field. I know my grandmother would be proud. I am grateful to everyone who has collaborated in the development of research and new therapies for this condition. Thanks Dr. Alfonso for the invitation.
