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.

Emily Osborne

Branch Co-Leader Picture
Emily grew up in Southern California and moved to Washington at age 14. Although she was diagnosed with CMT at age 10, doctors gave little information to Emily and her family about the disease, so she grew up thinking what she had was rare. Three decades later, Emily stumbled across the CMTA’s website and shortly thereafter met others with CMT for the first time in her life. Emily recently had a genetic test done and finally learned that her CMT type is 4C. When she is not working full time or hosting fundraisers for the CMTA, she likes going kayaking, going to the movies, taking road trips, and spending time with her friends and her daughter, Kalee.
