In this episode, we have two return guests: George Pollock, Team FSHD Cycling, and Ally Roets, Parents’ Roundtable Leadership. George and Ally join Tim to discuss their participation in the upcoming Tour de Tuscon, a world-class cycling race, and their work to raise awareness about and funds for Early Onset FSHD research & treatment access. While Ally covers the importance of Early Onset specific research and funding, Geroge discusses the mindset and intentional training behind his training. Living with FSHD is like competing in an endurance event: it takes mindset, training, nutrition and hydration, consistency, support, and rest.
As George says: Movement is medicine, you have to do hard things.

Join Tim and special guest Elissa for a deep conversation covering topics including:
How FSHD can affect post-partum healing
Finding a physical therapist who explains exercise in your “language,”
Caring for your body and mind, and
Learning to own your FSHD and it’s progression
Despite living with FSHD for over two decades, this was Elissa’s first conversation with another person living with FSHD. Her conversation with Tim is evocative, meditative, and a true testament to how living with FSHD is a complicated mixture of connection, movement, growth, and adaptation.

Join Tim, Ally, and Michelle for a crash course into expanded access. Expanded access allows folks living with rare diseases to request access to experimental drugs (those in clinical trials) even if they did not meet the clinical trial inclusion criteria. Ally and Michelle cover:
—what is Expanded Access; how it differs from Open Label Extension; and who can qualify for EA
—the application process and general timelines
—Familial, medical, and financial considerations including how to cover costs that insurance might deny or, at minimum, not cover
—the importance of increasing access to treatments and the benefits of expanded access.
This episode is packed with insight and worth repeat listens.
Ally Roets co-leads the month Parents’ Roundtable Gathering Place group and the Cure FSHD for All initiative. Ally is a passionate parent and advocate for access to treatments, and ultimately a cure, for everyone living with FSHD including those who fall outside trial inclusion criteria.
Dr. Michelle Mellion is the Chief Medical Officer for the FSHD Society and a clinician well-known for her work in the FSHD space. Dr. Mellion has worked both as a clinician and within the biotech/pharmaceutical spaces and is a passionate advocate for treatment access and the Early Onset community.

Join us for the 2025 Walk & Roll special episode of FSHD Straight Talk with Tim Hollenback. This year’s episode features: Amy Bekier, San Diego; Ian Barr, Long Island, NY; Mollie Garrett, Virginia; Meg Hart, Mid-Atlantic; and CeCe Bell, Intermountain (Idaho). This year’s Walk leaders represent folks living with FSHD, care partners, and loving family; “OG” leaders, veteran walk & rollers, and first-timers; and nearly every region in the continental US. Walk & Roll season is always filled with heart-warming stories, and this year’s Special is no different.
From maze races and specially-designed coloring books, to costume contests and dance teams, to iconic views, Walk & Rolls provide a space for inter-abled solidarity, community connections, and shared joy. To our Walk Leaders, Team Captains, and volunteers, thank you for your work to raise awareness about FSHD and funds to support our work to find treatments, and a cure, for FSHD.
This week, Tim spoke with Kendra, an Idaho resident with a family history of FSHD. Diagnosed at age 9, Kendra knew she had FSHD as early as 6 as her symptoms resembled those of her older brother. Kendra discusses how her faith helps her deal with the constant grieving process caused by FSHD: the grief at losing her brother so young and the grief that comes with each changed ability and lost muscle. Kendra’s story is one of perseverance, community support, love, and dark humor in the wake of FSHD relentless progression.
Loving someone with FSHD means loving someone through constant change, a path that Leah & Joe have traveled together since they met in 8th grade. Despite coming from a family with FSHD, Joe faced a long diagnostic journey filled with uninformed and misinformed care providers, leading the couple to do their own research with considerable trial and error. In this episode they discuss the importance of community support, how to adapt, supplements and vitamins, why you need to hydrate, and so much more. Married for 15 years and together for 20, Leah & Joe’s partnership proves their philosophy: when living in an inter-abled relationship, what you really need is more laughter and more love.

More information about the 6/7/25 Ride: "Words aren’t enough to express my gratitude to Lindsey and Sarah (of Boulder Sports Physiotherapy) and the dozens of people (many affiliated with Evergreen Ride Club) who showed up and made this fundraiser a huge success. I’m blessed with an amazing extended family! All of you are the best people I know, and I’m thrilled so many new connections were made. Best of all, we raised over $1,600 for the FSHD Society! Every little bit counts towards their mission to fund the research and treatment that help improve life for those living with this terrible disease. On behalf of my sister Michele and I, and from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU! " -Michael Ahlers

This week, Johnny Quintana joins host Tim Hollenback for a conversation about athleticism & perseverance. At the beginning of March 2025, Johnny placed 4th in the US ParaClimbing National Championship, a win allowing him to compete internationally as he works towards a spot on the 2028 USA Paralympic Team. When doctors told Johnny that FSHD would end his career as an athlete, he rose to the challenge to live life to his fullest potential.
Throughout the episode, Johnny and Tim discuss their athletic careers, how they’ve adapted to physical challenges, and the importance of a good training regimen, healthy diet, and a loving support system. Diagnosed at 19, but thriving in his mid-30s, Johnny has stepped into the spotlight as a powerful example of strength and grit.
