MightyMan Half Iron Distance Supports HNF

MightyMan Half Iron Montauk

Check it off your bucket list!

On Sunday, October 1, 2017 the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation will participate in the MightyMan Half Iron Distance in Fort Pond, Montauk, NY as a charity partner.

Did you know that Montauk, NY is one of the birthplaces of triathlons? Montauk is a quaint fishing and surfing town on the easternmost tip of Long Island. Athletes will love this course for its natural beauty and small-town feel. This is a great family weekend to spend on the Island’s east end—at a time when the weather’s still nice, but the summer crowds are not as heavy.

HNF is looking for individual participants and relay teams for this Half IronMan. If you would like to just swim, then HNF will find people for the bike and run segments.

The Long Road to Diagnosis Renews Dedication to Advocacy

Growing up we called it “Steffi disorder.” My friends and family were as baffled as my expert neurologists. I had been diagnosed with typical Spiral Muscular Atrophy (SMA) as a toddler but never followed its progression; I never seemed to get weaker. My myriad of symptoms was distinctly different than anyone else’s I had ever met in a lifetime living in the neuromuscular community. I thought I might never find my true diagnosis, let alone others who share it with me.

A New Mouse Model for Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT2)

We were recently informed that The Jackson Laboratory (JAX, a nonprofit biomedical research institution headquartered in Bar Harbor, Maine) had taken delivery and will be distributing a newly generated CMT-related mouse model. The new model expresses mutant mitofusin 2, a mitochondrial membrane protein involved in mitochondrial fusion and regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation.
