Donate your birthday

This year, instead of asking for one more gift you do not need, ask the people who love you to help fund the cure for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. A birthday fundraiser is one of the simplest, most personal ways to support HNF. You choose your birthday, or any day worth celebrating, set up a fundraiser online, and invite your friends and family to give in place of presents. It takes only a few minutes to start and it costs you nothing. Best of all, it introduces CMT to everyone who cares about you, many of whom have never heard of it, and points their generosity straight at research and the families living with this disease every day.

Why a birthday fundraiser helps so much

Small, personal fundraisers add up to something big, and they reach people no campaign ever could.

It is genuinely easy No event to plan, no tickets to sell. A few clicks and a heartfelt post do the work.
It spreads awareness Most people have never heard of CMT. Your fundraiser introduces it to everyone who loves you.
It funds real research Every dollar goes to CMT research and the programs that support families living with it.
It feels good There are few better birthday gifts than knowing you helped move a cure closer.

The most powerful part of a birthday fundraiser is you. When you share why CMT research matters to you, whether you live with CMT, love someone who does, or simply believe families deserve answers, people listen. They give because they care about you, and through you they come to care about the cause.
