Why Race for Fragile X Syndrome?

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

Fragile X Community

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