I am participating in the Cycle 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). This year, I will not be present for the actual CMT ride taking place in Manitowoc, Wisconsin this September, but will be completing a 230 mile bike ride through the Loire River Valley in France. I am dedicating this ride to those living with CMT, including my husband John. This progressive neuromuscular has negatively affected his balance and amublation. .
To people with CMT, STAR research for a cure means regaining feeling in the extremities, walking without tripping, buttoning shirts and being able to pick up change off a flat surface with ease. STAR is synonymous with stopping the progression of CMT and living a life free of limitations.
STAR is hope for a future without CMT. Please help make a difference in the lives of people living with CMT and for our generations to come.
Together, with your support, we can reach our fundraising goal.
