Team CMT Logo copyTeam CMT is a grassroots community fundraising program founded by Chris Wodke, a CMT athlete that partnered with the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation (HNF) to raise awareness for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Building awareness helps us to create a better  understanding of the challenges faced by those living with CMT and assists us in increasing support, research, and the likelihood of finding a cure.

You can join us, and truly make a difference. Register to be a Team CMT member and you’ll be part of an international effort to change the future for those living with CMT.

By joining the team and making a minimum donation of $25, we will send you a Team CMT shirt that you can wear to help build awareness. You can wear your Team CMT shirt to the gym, physical therapy, or to an athletic event  If you want you can fundraise too, and have a dedicated fundraising page to track your efforts: https://www.hnf-cure.org/team-cmt/

Team CMT is not just for adults. Check out our Team CMT Kids page to learn how to support children living with CMT by registering your school or team: http://hnf.donorpages.com/TeamCMTKIDS/
