A crazy band of Accountants are venturing from our boring world of numbers and calculators and partaking in the madness of Rough Runner to raise awareness and funds for CMT UK.

CMT is a rare, progressive neurological muscle wasting disease which limits the ability to do everyday tasks such as walking unassisted or tying shoelaces. CMT causes weak legs, weak ankles, poor balance, poor strength, lack of co-ordination, and little or no sensory information in feet and lower legs so it's very easy to sustain injury without realising.  Major foot and ankle surgeries may be required to repair deformities and walking aids such as sticks, wheelchairs, orthotics or special boots are also often necessary.

Because CMT is a rare disease, youngsters who have the condition
may have no-one to talk to about their concerns and fears for the future. Often, the only role models they are older more disabled relatives.

CMT UK runs activity weekends for youngsters with CMT and provides a supported environment for young people to engage in activities such as climbing, abseiling, canoeing with excellent instructors. The youngsters also get plenty of opportunity to talk to others with CMT, to learn how to deal with the way CMT affects them at school, how to deal with surgery, bullying and wearing orthotics.

The charity relies purely on donations and the generosity of friends, family and volunteers to fund the weekends which cost approx £350 per person. The more money we raise, the more young people with CMT we can help . Thank you so much for your generosity , every penny you donate is really appreciated.
