by Courtney | Aug 19, 2014 | 0 comments

The HNF family has lost two great people this summer: Franklin G. Downing Sr. (father of board member Matthew Downing) and George G. Gatta (father of board member Kathleen Zappola). We
would like to honor these two individuals as they have provided us with great leaders in our board members. It is always hard to say goodbye to loved ones but we know they are with us daily as we continue our quest to cure Charcot-Marie-Tooth. HNF thanks all those that donated in memory tosupport the TRIAD Research Program.
