WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Representative Gregg Harper (R – Miss.) launched a Public Service Announcement today in support of his 19-year-old son, Livingston who lives with Fragile X and the National Fragile X Foundation Advocacy Day being held Wednesday, March 4th.

“As the only member of Congress who has a child with Fragile X, I understand the challenges that face thousands of families who experience this condition,” said Congressman Gregg Harper. “My wife, Sidney and I are committed to making sure there is increased awareness and funding to help those families who are blessed with a child with Fragile X.”

The NFXF is on Capitol Hill with 130 advocates from 35 states with one goal: to secure the resources necessary to find more effective treatments and ultimately a cure for Fragile X.
