Welcome to our Branch

What Are CMTA Branches?

CMTA Branches are volunteer-led local support and education groups for those living with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease and their loved ones. We invite all community members to join these vibrant groups of active and caring individuals in your area to share resources, ideas, CMT-related information, and personal experiences and to, ultimately, build life-long friendships and support. Meetings focus on CMT education, awareness, research updates, fundraising initiatives, advocacy, and current events and will include guest speakers. The branches also offer a meaningful outlet for connecting with others who have CMT. All are welcome to join a branch near them or to participate in a virtual branch meeting.

Ted Spring

Branch Leader Picture
After a career in higher education teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels and serving as a president at two colleges, Ted retired in Destin with his wife, Andrea. They have a daughter, Jessica, and a son, Trevor, and five young grandchildren. Ted is a member of Rotary International, the Sons of the American Revolution and the NWFSC Institute for Senior Professionals. Originally from upstate New York, Ted began experiencing multiple symptoms of CMT in 1966 but was not correctly diagnosed with CMT until 2015. Having a correct diagnosis significantly impacted the quality of his life through intervention services, including physical and occupational therapy and orthopedic braces. As leader of the Destin branch, Ted believes that sharing information about CMT and the impact of those services can be of benefit to others.
