This organization has been very effective in its work furthering research into FSH. Because of the determination and motivation of its founders, Pacific Northwest Friends of FSH Research has been highy successful in raising more awareness about this form of muscular dystrophy, as well as raising significant funds for research.

For the past 5 years, I have been a volunteer for the Pacific Northwest Friends of FSH Research organization. I have watched the Colella family work tirelessly throughout the year, promoting the organization's message, organizing the annual Dinner Auction, and collaborating with medical investigators to pursue treatments and ultimately, a cure, for this horrific disease. They have addressed all aspects of what a non-profit organization needs to do to organize, grow, and prosper. They are, in my opinion, the gold standard for other non-profits who hope to accomplish miracles.

This charity was started to raise money for research about a form of muscular dystrophy that affects my brother. There was little research being conducted prior to Friends of FSH, and now so much is being done. I continue to support their efforts, and hope that all the research that is now being done can continue until we have a cure.

The Pacific Northwest Friends of FSH Research is a relatively small but huge in impact non-profit begun by the family of a son with this type of muscular dystrophy. The Colellas found very little in terms of resources, help, research and knowledge about this disease which is more common than you might think. Out of their frustration with the existing situation some 6 plus years ago, they formed the FSH organization and operated out of their own home. Their dedication to this cause has had a tremendous impact on the amount of attention this disease is now receiving and on the amount of research dollars available to look for a cure and/or treatment for the condition. The operation of the organization is bare-bones with very little overhead and lots of energetic volunteers. It is amazing what this non-profit has achieved in a relatively short amount of time.

As a member of the family I want to add my praise and appreciation to Terry and Rick for their efforts in establishing this wonderful organization which is successfully raising funds to support the researchers at Univ of Washington and elsewhere to find a cure for this debilitating disease. Volunteers are needed to help them carry on this effort not just next year but until a cure is found. Researchers' findings will need to be put into action and into the market place available to all who have the need. Our dream would be that it would take place in Brian's lifetime.Thanks to all who are among the many supporters.
