CMT is a potentially devastating disease impacting more than 3 million individuals globally.

I am running the Golden Gate Half Marathon on November 6 and proudly supporting the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association (CMTA). I've been working with the CMTA for over 15 years and believe in their mission and vision and helping people with CMT in all aspects of life. 

The CMTA is a 501c3 non-profit working with world-class partners to advance treatment-oriented Research through STAR (Strategy to Accelerate Research).

To people with CMT, STAR research for a cure means regaining feeling in the extremities, walking without tripping, buttoning shirts, and being able to pick up change from a flat surface with ease. STAR is synonymous with stopping the progression of CMT and living a life free of limitations.

STAR is hope for a future without CMT.

Please help make a difference in the lives of those living with CMT and for our generations to come.

Together, with your support, I can reach our fundraising goal. For me, doing something hard just for me seems silly. Let my hard thing benefit others. Please donate to the CMTA! The full request is for $1300, for the 13 miles I need to run next month. 

Thank you in advance for your generosity.
