The European Charcot-Marie-Tooth (aka CMT) Federation is a nonprofit organization created to unite all the CMT advocacy groups across Europe to help raise awareness and promote better care for people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a rare invalidating neuropathy, fund research and encourage the formation of new organizations in countries where there is not an advocacy group yet
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease is a rare neurological condition affecting the nerves to the arms and legs. The nerves deteriorate causing muscle wasting and weakness of the lower legs/feet and lower arms/hands, mainly, leading to varying degrees of disability.
