Why your help is important
Familial hypercholesterolemia is a common, yet vastly under-diagnosed, life-threatening genetic disorder that affects 1 in 250 people worldwide. FH causes high LDL ("bad") cholesterol from birth, leading to an increase risk for heart disease. More than 90% of people with FH do not know they have it - that means entire families are at risk! With early diagnosis and lifelong management, individuals with FH can live longer, healthier lives.
Your participation in #Race4FH is vital to continue and drive the work of the FH Foundation.
Thank you for helping to win the race!
