I am supporting the Lansing Walk 4 CMT event to raise money for the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association (CMTA). The CMTA is a 501c3 non-profit working with world-class partners to advance treatment-oriented research through STAR (Strategy to Accelerate Research).
My wife, Dee Ann, has CMT so I’ve seen the effects this hereditary condition has had on her. In recent years, CMTA has been a resource for her in understanding lifelong symptoms when many doctors had never heard of it. She is going to walk in the Lansing, Michigan event with her long time friend, Sally.
To people with CMT, STAR research for a cure means regaining feeling in the extremities, walking without tripping, buttoning shirts, and easily picking up change off a flat surface. STAR is synonymous with stopping the progression of CMT and living a life without limitations.
Please help make a difference in the lives of those living with CMT and for our generations to come.
