September is Charcot-Marie-Tooth Awareness Month in Maine
 
What is Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT)?
  • It is the most common type of inherited peripheral neuropathy that results in a progressing loss of muscle tissue and touch sensation in the arms and legs
  • It can vary greatly in severity, even within the same family
  • It affects nearly 2.6 million people worldwide, including several men and women here in Maine
  • There is no known cure, although physical therapy, occupational therapy, and moderate physical activity is beneficial
  • Charcot-Marie-Tooth is named after three physicians who were the first to describe it back in 1886
If you're looking for an outdoor activity with a view, register for the 5k walk happening on Peaks Island, Sunday 9/21.  The walk starts at 2:45PM outside the Inn on Peaks, just off the ferry landing.  After the walk, participants will be invited to a light reception where there will be a silent auction and naming of the mascot.  For more information about CMT or to register for the walk and activities on Peaks Island, Sunday, September 21st, click on the links below.
