Portrait of Rachel

Rachel Dennis-Lancaster

Ambassador
Texas

Rachel has served as a FARA ambassador since 2025 and dedicates her time to supporting those in the FA community and the search for a cure. She went to Southeastern Oklahoma State University and received her B.A. in Criminal Justice. She currently works as a family law paralegal. She spends her free time with her husband, their families and her two dogs. Her favorite FARA event is the rideATAXIA Dallas. Rachel would tell someone newly diagnosed that it is okay to grieve your life before your diagnosis, but your diagnosis is not the end and you have so much life left to live.
