Bailey, was three years old when she felt the “bite” of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT). First, we noticed her feet turning inward. Not long after, she began falling several times a day while walking and, eventually she was dropping to the ground without warning because her ankles couldn’t support her. 

​

Bailey got her first pair of ankle-foot orthosis (braces) when she was four. She still wears them every day and, now at the age of 14, she has already had five leg surgeries. Bailey is just one of the millions of people worldwide who suffer from CMT, and these are just some of the symptoms they have to deal with.

​

Bailey’s Beat the Bite 5K is partnering with the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association (CMTA), the premier not-for-profit organization (EIN #22-2480896) representing people with CMT to host our 8th Annual 5K walk.
