<B>Announcing Justin Fuhr's LGMD Forum!</B>Announcing Justin Fuhr's LGMD Forum! -

The LGMD forum (www.lgmdforum.com) was established by Justin Fuhr to be a place where newly diagnosed patients with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy can come and find others who are dealing with the same disease. Justin Fuhr was dealing with Muscular Dystrophy and searched the internet looking for answers. He couldn't find a forum on any website that discussed LGMD, so he designed the LGMD forum hoping to find others who were new to this disease and looking for help. It was at that time that Justin met up with our communities on Facebook and then attended our 4th annual conference. TSF is very excited to team up with Justin Fuhr to add his website forum to our official website. Thank you, Justin!

Whether you are new to your diagnosis or have been living with it for many years, we would love to connect with you on the LGMD forum!

 You can access the LGMD forum directly by visiting www.lgmdforum.com or through the "Forum" tab at the top of this webpage.
