Portrait of Brona Kearney

Brona Kearney

Ambassador
Ireland

Brona has served as a FARA ambassador since 2023 dedicates her time to increasing awareness in the FA community, learning more about FA and sharing that knowledge. Brona enjoys riding a trike, riding her pony Charmer (who she has had for 20 years), doing physio/hydro therapy exercises and learning new things. Brona has a job which she enjoys and now can do from home. She works for four days a week and, before working, she did several years of higher education. Her favorite FARA event is the FA Symposium in Philadelphia as she gets to meet so many individuals with FA. Brona would tell someone newly diagnosed, “Don’t hide away if you are newly diagnosed with FA.”
