Lynne decided to lead a CMTA branch in Connecticut after her son was diagnosed with CMT. At that time, she realized how little she knew about the disorder she'd been living with for nearly 40 years. Now, there's a way for those living with CMT in southern Connecticut to come together to share experiences, learn about ways to cope and create awareness. Lynne resides in North Haven with her husband, daughter and son. She is an avid reader whose book club has been together 15 years, a longtime volunteer for a state literacy organization, an occasional freelance writer and someone who randomly feels the need to bake. Lynne is grateful to be a part of the CMTA family and its vision of a world without CMT.
