In this brief newsletter we invite you all to help us in our continuing mission of connecting families to Research, Resources, and Relationships...

Happening Now: Global Genes Rare Patient Advocacy Summit

We are excited that members of  MTM-CNM Family Connection  are attending this year's  RARE Patient Advocacy Summit  hosted by  Global Genes  this week in Irvine, CA! MTM-CNM Family Connection is a proud member of the Global Genes Foundation Alliance. The Summit is a great opportunity for all patients and family members interested in patient advocacy to connect with other rare disease organizations and hear the latest on advocacy efforts. While in Irvine, CA, we would love to connect with all MTM-CNM families and friends in the area this week! In 2016, we met with families over brunch on Saturday morning. We are planning to do the same this Saturday at 10:00 am at Hotel Irvine. We'd love to see you! Message Erin or Marie, or email info@mtm-cnm.org  if you can make it!
