“Since I went to camp last year I don’t feel isolated about CMT like I did before. I don’t feel as shy about CMT, or myself either.

The CMT Aussie Kids weekend is an experience I’ll never forget. Everyone has become a second family to me now, and we help each other out where it’s possible, no matter where we live in the country.”

“CMT Aussie Kids is something I look forward to every year, a weekend where I, and many others, can feel normal. When I’m at camp I don’t feel like the odd one out who gets extra treatment because of CMT.
It’s nice to meet other people who have the same struggles and challenges to overcome in everyday life and be able to exchange tips and tricks for CMT.”

“I love going to CMT camp because I meet new people and everyone around me has CMT and that makes me feel more confident.

It doesn’t matter if you fall over and you have funny feet, it is just so much fun.”
