This year the FCS community celebrates FCS Awareness Day on November 5, 2021. But living with familial chylomicronemia syndrome isn’t a one day event – it’s a condition that people struggle with their entire life. Much like living with the condition on a daily basis, we believe FCS awareness should be more than a ‘one and done’ event.

So this year, we are celebrating the fourth annual FCS Awareness Day on a bigger scale. FCS Focus and Ionis Pharmaceuticals is excited to celebrate FCS awareness for the entire month of November. This month we will join the FCS community in raising our voices and celebrating the victories of people living with this condition – to help advocate for global FCS awareness, diagnosis, and understanding.

Make sure your voice is heard and your victories are shared with others who are looking for inspiration and hope. By following these steps to raise awareness we can help others better understand the burden of living with FCS.
