Join us November 15, 2014 in Ft. Lauderdale for an Havana Nights Fundraiser to raise money and awareness to fund research for CMT Type 6.
In spite of high foot arches and trouble with balance, Joy von Werder of Winter Springs, FL has always been a runner and cyclist. She was also eager to participate in a triathlon. “The training and racing aspects really appeal to me,” she explained. There was one huge problem though. Joy didn’t know how to swim. “So there I was, 39 years old, taking swimming lessons from the boy who gave my little kids lessons,” Joy laughs, but her voice changes quickly as she describes her first race.
Allyson O’Connor won’t let CMT get her down. She was unofficially diagnosed at the age of 10. Her Dad had the same symptoms, but at the time genetic tests were not available. Her diagnosis was based on an EMG. After having her two children, now age 8 and 6, she decided it was important to determine if she definitely had CMT.

Holiday Shopping Benefit – Shop Till You Drop
Hereditary Neuropathy is participating in the Americana Manhasset’s Champions for Charity®. From Thursday, December 4 through Saturday, December 6, over 70 participating Americana Manhasset and Wheatley Plaza stores will donate 25% of designated pre-tax purchases.
Your donation will go to critical research that will help cure Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), a progressive neuromuscular disease.
In general, the collection, analysis and dissemination of data on disease progression and patient responses to long-term disease management strategies in registries represents a valuable way to improve understanding of the disease and keep medical professionals up to date on the latest advances.
