CMT Awareness Month

Boy, how time flies.  I cannot believe it is almost September!  I suddenly feel like I am really far behind with everything.  There are a few things I want to ask everyone to do for us.

1. If you have a facebook account please change your Avatar to a CMT Awareness Avatar. You can find these by "liking" https://www.facebook.com/CMTAssociation please do so starting September 1st. 

2. Again, if you have facebook please put a post about CMT on your wall.  Remember, the end of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease begins with you! Activate. Educate. Donate.

3. Twitter about CMT. 

4. Put an email together about CMT and how it affects you or a loved one.  Send it to all your contacts, the more people that are aware of CMT the better chance for a cure.

That should be a good start for everyone! 

What are we doing?

• Cotton Patch Challenge- September 17th Greenville, Tx come out and support Carter's Challenge!
• Posting CMT information at local doctor offices and businesses.
• Selling bracelets and all proceeds go to STAR INTIATIVE! Go Green!
• Carter's Birthday Wish- All month- more to come in next couple of days!

Last but not least tell 3 people about CMT by Saturday. 

Until Next Time.........SPREAD AWARENESS~THE TIME IS NOW!

Charcot Marie Tooth Association Is Making Carter The October Youth Spotlight!

We just got the official word that Carter will be the Youth Spotlight on the CMTA's Youth Facebook page, for October!  He is so excited and so am I!  I know they are excited to have him too.  This is a great opportunity for Carter to tell and show other youths to stay strong, positive and believe.  His motto. Don't give up! I was told that a PR person will be contacting us soon to go over everything.  CAN YOU SAY AMAZING?

My head is still spinning from everything that is going on in our lives right now, but I know now more than ever that this is our calling.  He and I are supposed to shed  light on the Charcot Marie Tooth Disease and make more Doctors, nurses, moms, dads, teachers, communities,etc..aware of CMT  and know the signs.  So many have never heard of it or if they have, they don't know much about it.  Remember, knowledge is power and power is knowing.  THE TIME IS NOW....TIME TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT CMT!

So go check Carter out on the CMTA's Youth Facebook page in October https://www.facebook.com/#!/CMTAssociation?sk=app_6009294086.  I will of course remind you all when we get closer to October but just couldn't wait to share the great news. 

Until Next Time..........You Can Achieve If You Believe!

Stay Strong, Believe~Carter Hayes
