Join the race — FH can't wait!
The FH Foundation’s 2018 Race for FH kicks off on August 11!

Everyday heroes for FH will choose their own challenge and walk, run, bike, swim, surf, climb and more to help win the # RaceforFH. The "race" will begin on August 11 and cross the finish line on September 24, FH Awareness Day. This is a virtual event, so people across the country can participate in their own way. All participants will raise lifesaving funds to help the FH Foundation find, understand and treat familial hypercholesterolemia.

FH can't wait, so get started today!

  1. Register to participate as a team captain or on your own.

Why Race for FH

FH can’t wait.  People with FH have a 20-times higher risk for heart disease, left untreated. And although one in every 250 people has FH, 90% haven’t been diagnosed. This means that they are not receiving treatment that could save their lives. Those who are diagnosed may not understand their treatment options, or how to find a specialist.

With your help, we can reach our goal of raising $150,000 to help improve diagnosis rates, increase understanding of FH and ensure optimal care.
