Big news! Our very own President, George Stratts, and his son Bobby are gearing up for a huge challenge: the IRONMAN 70.3 Tours Métropole – Loire Valley triathlon in Tours, France, on June 1, 2025! They're dedicating this incredibly tough 70.3-mile race (swim in the Cher River, bike, and run!) to their superstar son and brother, Tyler, who has 49XXXXY.

Every dollar George and Bobby raise will directly support The Focus Foundation's crucial work. Let's show them our support and help make a difference for individuals like Tyler!

Brightening our office today! ✨ We're thrilled to have one of our dedicated kiddos with 48XXXY working with us. Our research, comprehensive care, and advocacy are all about helping these amazing kids thrive.

May is National Women's Month, and at The Focus Foundation, we're highlighting the strength and resilience of all women and girls. Today, we want to raise awareness about girls and women with 47,XXX, also known as Triple X syndrome.

Did you know that an estimated 90% of females with 47,XXX remain unidentified in their lifetime? This means many girls and women may be navigating life with this chromosomal variation without a proper diagnosis and the support they need.

47,XXX can be associated with several challenges, including:

Autoimmune conditions
Anxiety
Learning disabilities
ADHD
Hypotonia, which can lead to joint issues
Premature ovarian failure and early onset menopause

Early identification is key to providing appropriate support and interventions. Knowledge is power. By increasing awareness, we can help more girls and women with 47,XXX receive the understanding and care they deserve.

The Focus Foundation has the privilege of working with families across the U.S. and around the world, even as far away as Egypt, Dubai, and Taiwan! This International Families Day, we celebrate the strength and resilience of all families, especially those navigating the complexities of a rare diagnosis.
