A Gift in Your Will?
By leaving a gift to CMTUK in your will, you’ll be supporting us to:
- provide services to help future generations suffering from this condition, with all the pain and disability that CMT can cause,
- fund research that brings treatment, and hopefully, a cure forward.
At present, there is no treatment or cure for CMT, and people spend their lives struggling with balance, mobility and dexterity issues; in and out of hospitals for surgery or out patients appointments; children can be bullied at school, and people are more likely to have to retire early for work. So all we can do is support people now and ensure people can live as well as possible.
Free Wills provides a free will service to CMTUK members and supporters, visit them here.

Leave a legacy
Leaving a legacy to CMTUK will help people with CMT long into the future. It will allow people who have just been diagnosed to get the best possible information so that they can understand their condition, and move on with their lives. It will help us continue to support young people like those shown in the photo above, to give them the tools and self-esteem/self-confidence to have a great life. It will protect people seeking advice and information from being left without support or advice.
It’s a wonderful feeling knowing that after your death, you will still be giving someone else the opportunity to get support and advice to cope with their CMT, just as I did when I was first diagnosed.
If you would like to know more, you can download our Fact Sheet on Legacies, or take advantage of the Co-operative Legal Service’s offer below. Or for a more informal chat about leaving a legacy, please contact us.
If you decide to leave a legacy or have already included CMTUK in your will, please contact us to let us know and Thank You.
