🧠 Why race for Fragile X syndrome?

• Leading Cause: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the leading known cause of inherited intellectual disability and the leading single gene cause of Autism.
• Mission: Fraxsocal’s mission is to promote public awareness and with your help we can accomplish this goal!
• Community: We provide a forum for families and children with FXS to meet & greet and create a stronger FXS community!
• Support: We support research for effective treatments and ultimately a cure for FXS.

👨‍👩‍👧 Fragile X Community

• Fun Day: A Family Fun Day will proceed after the walk with Family, Friends, Food and Fun!
• Opportunity: It's a great time to chat with other families affected by fragile X syndrome (FXS).
• Judgement Free: It’s a nice opportunity for you to take your kid(s) or adult(s) with FXS or any disability for that matter, judgement free!
