Every year in July, we come together to celebrate National Fragile X Awareness Month. It’s not only an opportunity for us to bond as a community, it’s a time to open ourselves up to the world and share our individual stories.
To get ready for the big month ahead, we wanted to ask you all to tell us about someone Xtraordinary in your life related to Fragile X.
Yes, we’re talking about self-advocates … and we’re talking about mothers, fathers, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and great grandparents. We’re also talking about caregivers, teachers, special educators, doctors, nurses, therapists, and friends who make a positive impact just by being there, and who step up when the need arises.
