Racing to save generations of families from heart disease.
Racing to Save Generations of Families from Heart Disease

Individuals and families from across the United States have joined the Race for FH.


Why are they racing?

  • To stop another mother from losing her son to heart disease

  • To stop another child from losing their parent too soon

  • To give someone a name – familial hypercholesterolemia – for their condition

  • To help an individual struggling to manage their lifelong cholesterol understand treatment options exist

  • To help the FH Foundation find every individual with FH


No matter the reason, Race for FH participants are joined together as ONE COMMUNITY TO SAVE LIVES.  
Join us, but most importantly, join them . Register today or donate to support your favorite team to help us win the race against FH. 
Portland Race for FH

This mother & daughter team is actively bringing awareness of FH to the Portland Community. “ As national patient advocates, and having FH ourselves, we understand the importance of awareness and treatment of those affected with FH as early as possible.”

CO Race to FIND FH

Led by the 2019 Race for FH Chair, the Colorado (CO) Race for FH Team is motivated to make the next generation’s FH journey last longer than in the past. Jen’s accomplishing her goal by “racing” around CO to raise awareness and spread hope at local health fairs!

Dr. Clary is on a mission and she won’t be stopped! Back again, she’s running 90 miles for the 90% of undiagnosed FH patients around the country and representing the FH Foundation’s CASCADE Registry partner, Indiana University.

Walk/Run 20 Miles for FH

Why 20 miles!?
