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.

Branch Leader Picture
Steve has CMT Type X, which also affects several members of his family. He and his wife, Kim, started the CMTA branch in the Washington, DC metro area in 2010. The group's members come from DC, Maryland, and Virginia—all of them lead active lives and are dedicated to raising awareness about CMT. Steve enjoys biking with his two kids, going to the gym (ok, not always), growing tomatoes, and all kinds of spectator sports.
