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
Jessica was diagnosed with CMT when she was just five years old. She became involved with the CMTA in 2016 when she became a camp counselor at Camp Footprint, the CMTA’s summer camp for kids with CMT. Her experiences at Camp Footprint gave her the confidence to talk about her CMT. She has been a scuba diver since she was 18 and has been to many beautiful places to dive with her brother Greg (also diagnosed with CMT) and her father. She enjoys walks in the park with her dogs, traveling, and spending time with her friends. She is passionate about empowering others with CMT. "Our challenges don’t define us, our actions do.”
