Gary J. Gasper

Gary became involved in the CMTA when his 5-year-old son was diagnosed with CMT 1A. As a resident of the Washington, D.C. area, who works as a lawyer and lobbyist, Gary spent time contacting some of the top medical professionals in our Nation’s capital, including researchers and doctors at NIH and the Children’s National Medical Center. After doing his own research, he truly believes that the CMTA is the organization that will make a difference in finding a cure and/or effective treatment for CMT.

Gary firmly believes that the CMTA should focus primarily on a mission of fundraising to support research to find a cure for CMT. As it does so, efforts should be made to assist those who currently suffer from this disorder. His personal goal is to do whatever he can to help assist doctors and researchers to find an effective treatment and cure in time for his son to realize the benefits while he is still growing.
