Michael Watkins completed the Leadville Trail 100 MTB race on August 15, 2015 in Leadville, CO. The trail race is widely considered one of the toughest mountain biking races in the country.
In September, HNF has many ways to participate in our ongoing efforts to find a cure for CMT. Here are a few exciting and fun ways for you to join us in our efforts to raise awareness and funds
Allison Moore, HNF CEO, and Joy Aldrich, HNF Advocacy Director, represented HNF as sponsors at this important conference, which was held in Chateau Mont Sainte Anne, Canada, from June 27 – July 2
The Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation (HNF) has a new initiative aimed at identifying expert Health Care Providers (HCP) for the CharcotMarie-Tooth (CMT) community.
Dr. Wayne Berberian is a specialized orthopedic surgeon who repairs complications of the foot and ankle.
This model examines the effects of a validated, evidence-based mechanical loading “resistance-type” exercise protocol in the management CMT.
Growing up, I always knew I was different than my friends. I couldn’t run fast, tripped often (the scars on my knees are a reminder), was lousy at any sports-related activity, and was generally weak and uncoordinated.
HNF has partnered with Inspire to provide a safe online health and wellness community in which patients, families, friends, and caregivers connect with one another for support and information.
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.
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.
Hello! We have our tickets and hope this is a very successful event!
Many thanks to our Rochester Chrome Divas for all of their hard work on this benefit event!
