CMTA camp

Hello! My name is Gracie, and I recently received a diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). During the process of diagnosis, I came across an amazing opportunity to attend a camp called Camp Footprint. This camp is specifically designed for individuals like me who are living with CMT. The moment I discovered it, I knew I wanted to be a part of it, so as soon as registrations opened, I wasted no time in applying. Much to my delight, I was accepted into Camp Footprint, and this news filled me with immense joy. Finally, I would have the chance to connect with fellow campers who truly understand the challenges and difficulties that come with living with CMT. However, one obstacle stands in my way - the camp is located in Oregon. It will require a significant amount of money to cover the expenses of traveling there and back. Therefore, I have taken the initiative to start fundraising in order to gather the necessary funds to attend this life-changing camp. My goal is not only to make new friends but also to gain a deeper understanding of my own disability through the enriching experiences and activities offered at Camp Footprint. By participating in this camp, I hope to build supportive relationships with others who have faced similar struggles.
