We are excited to announce our new collaboration with Rare Disease Report (RDR) to increase awareness of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) among the medical community. RDR’s website, e-newsletter, and print publication offers an independent voice for the Rare Disease Community.
On January 23, 2015 dedicated H.E.L.P. (Help Elliot Live Proud) Fund supporters participated in the 6th Annual Card Party Brunch and Boutique at Broken Sound County Club, Boca Raton, Florida.

Corporate matching gift programs are charitable giving programs setup by corporations in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. For example, if a donor works for Bank of America and donates $100 to the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation, Bank of America will double the donation by also writing a check for $100.

The Global Registry for Inherited Neuropathies (GRIN) has implemented Google Translate. Why did we choose Google? Because Google is leading the way in teaching computers how to interpret meaning, avoiding the traditional method of decoding language.

Many thanks to our Rochester Chrome Divas for all of their hard work on this benefit event!
Deb & Keith
Looking forward to it!
