HNF is thrilled to have been chosen for the 14th year as a Charity Partner for the TD Bank Five Boro Bike Tour. This means more participants riding to increase awareness of Charcot-Marie-Tooth, and thousands more dollars raised to fund research into treatments and a cure. This year we were given 10 spots! Team CMT members will have first dibs.

A volunteer fire fighter for eight years, Alyson has managed to stay active, in spite of her CMT symptoms.
When Chris Wodke received her acceptance letter to run in the 2012 Boston Marathon Mobility Impaired Division, she was overwhelmed. “I wanted to cry and shout at the same time. I never thought I would be running Boston. It is an honor and I am humbled. It is the achievement,” she explains, “of a dream that seemed out of reach.”
“An awesome event” is how members of Team CMT described the 2012 TD Bank NY Five Boro Bike Tour, held on Sunday, May 6th
Congratulations to Chris Wodke, manager of Team CMT, who placed second in the Mobility Impaired Division of the 2012 Boston Marathon on April 16!
Di also did something special for Team CMT. “I took my body to the absolute limit yesterday, Sunday, April 15th, in honor of Chris Wodke’s Boston Marathon run which took place the next day. I walked (no jogging or running) in one direction and had my husband pick me up when I couldn’t go any further.”
Morgan Johnson doesn’t have Charcot-Marie-Tooth, but she is quickly learning everything she can about it.
As manager of Team CMT and in partnership with The Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation, Chris intends to use this opportunity to raise awareness about CMT on a grander scale.
“I call Charcot-Marie-Tooth a blind disease because you can’t see it. People say I look fine and can’t understand that I have a problem.
Recently, the 42 year old mom of three joined Team CMT- Richmond hoping to spread awareness and raise funds for research and a cure.
