CMT & Me

CMT and Me is an authentic and empowering story about a boy named Charlie who has Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease—a degenerative nerve disease that makes his legs weaker and causes him to trip more than most kids. While Charlie can’t run as fast or play on the field the same way others do, he discovers that being part of the team doesn’t always mean scoring the winning goal.With a microphone in hand and a whole lot of heart, Charlie becomes the team’s loudest cheerleader and official game-day broadcaster—sharing plays, pumping up players, and reminding everyone that every role matters.Through humor, honesty, and courage, Charlie learns to embrace his differences and realize that CMT is a part of him—but it doesn’t define all of him. CMT and Me is an inspiring story for any child navigating challenges, demonstrating that inclusion, passion, and self-love are the true victories.When you purchase this book, you’re helping make a difference.
