Now that scientists have discovered the effects of the Fragile X protein on well-known diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, the work of the NFXF becomes increasingly critical. We are more committed than ever to improving the outcomes of clinical trials through our FX Clinical and Research Consortium.
Even more important however, continues to be the families in the Fragile X community. They depend on the NFXF and our indispensable network of Community Support groups seeking the support, resources and information to meet the challenges of living with Fragile X every day. We could not possibly do all this without them and are continuing our investment in strengthening this tremendous asset.
So thank you again for being part of our many accomplishments!
Sincerely,[/mpc_textblock]

Fragile X Advocacy Works: The Fruits of our Labors
After 2015 Advocacy Day, we launched a nationwide state advocacy initiative named STAR (State Teams for Advocacy Results). The new public policy program appoints state leaders to extend our advocacy efforts year-round, planning visits to the local offices of their Members of Congress, in order to continue the relationships built in Washington, DC and further develop our legislative agenda at home.[/mpc_textblock]
