Fabio Figueiredo 

Fabio is one of the founders of ABRAFEU – Brazilian Association of FSHD, and a father working to help his son and all Brazilians who have facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy.

Formed in 2019, ABRAFEU has an ambitious goal of bringing FSHD treatment to Brazil by 2025. 

“It is an honor to be invited to be the Ambassador for Brazil for MyFSHD. In 2018, I had my first contact with Dr. Peter Jones, and in 2021 we were able to develop a genetic test project to bring the diagnosis to everyone at an affordable value. Thanks to his support, we will start to do a large-scale genetic test for Brazilians in 2022.”
