September is CMT Awareness Month

It takes nerve

So does living with CMT

Nerve means two things around here

It’s the guts to go for it.

It’s also the wiring from your brain to your hands and feet.

The wiring CMT wears away.

This September, we’re celebrating the nerve of the CMT community – from head to toe and everything in between.

Every person with CMT has a story about a time they had to dig deep and do the thing anyway. Getting on the plane. Speaking up at the doctor’s office. Walking down the aisle. Trying out for the team. Big or small, we want to hear it all.

Tell us about the time it took nerve, and we’ll add it to The Nerve Center.
