Why Race for Fragile X Syndrome?

• Impact: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the leading known cause of inherited intellectual disability and the leading single gene cause of Autism.
• Awareness: Fraxsocal’s mission is to promote public awareness, and with your help, we can accomplish this goal!
• Community: 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, helping those affected by autism, Alzheimer’s, and other brain disorders.

Fragile X Community

• Family Fun Day: A Family Fun Day will proceed after the walk with Family, Friends, Food, and Fun!
• Connection: It's a great time to chat with other families affected by FXS.
• Judgment-free environment: A nice opportunity for you to take your kid(s) or adult(s) with FXS or any disability.
