Our Mission
Supporting Pediatric Patients with Neuromuscular Conditions
We advocate on behalf of pediatric patients affected by neurological conditions and contribute to the advancement of the Neuromuscular Program at Seattle Children’s Hospital, along with its affiliated programs. Our work seeks to enhance global awareness of the substantial burden and far-reaching impact that neurological diseases impose on children and their families. We are committed to improving the quality of life for these patients through the sponsorship of innovative treatments, the provision of critical resources, and the cultivation of a compassionate, supportive community. Guided by a patient-first philosophy, our approach emphasizes a comprehensive and holistic model of support.

Boston Zero-K: Race to End CMT
This is Boston’s first ever Zero-K! The Boston Zero-K is an event for people of all abilities, including those unable to participate in traditional runs. With all the spirit of a 5K and none of the distance, the event raises awareness and funds to advance research and treatment for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), a progressive, degenerative condition affecting over 3 million people worldwide. With no current cure, those living with CMT face a lifetime of worsening pain, numbness, sensory loss, muscle weakness/atrophy, and nerve degeneration.
