Portrait of Brendan Halverson

Brendan Halverson

Ambassador
Michigan

Brendan Halverson has served as an ambassador since 2019 and dedicates his time to meeting new people and advocating for FA. He is an alumni of Harper Creek High School, Kellogg Community College, and currently attends Western Michigan University. In his free time, Brendan enjoys playing video games with friends, both watching and playing adaptive sports, and being with family. His favorite FARA event is the Cure FA Soirée. Brendan would tell someone newly diagnosed that FA is not the end of the world. FA has its ups and downs but we all are united to find a cure together.
