The new Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation website. Click to visit site.

The Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation (HNF) of New York is a non-profit organization which raises awareness, funds scientific research, and educates medical nad public communities about Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT).

In around 2000 Allison Moore learned of her sudden onset of CMT, which was brought on after she received a chemotherapy agent (Vincristine) that is toxic and contraindicated for people with CMT or for those with a family history of CMT. She had subsequently founded the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation and made a passionate commitment to changing things for people living with CMT.

COMMbits has been involved with Charcot Marie Tooth and related websites since 2003. At that time COMMbits founder Al Poullis worked with Susan Wheeler, the Director of the Canadian association for CMT. That initial project was later merged with HNF’s website (2005).  COMMbits administered the merged project and provided services to HNF from 2005 to 2008.

At this time COMMbits welcomes back the HNF with a brand new website designed to provide easy content management directly from the Foundation’s side. The new project furnishes components such as a marketing rotating slider that showcases latest news and events right on the home page, owner-controlled navigational bars, ability to add new pages and new content on-the-fly, automatically generated thumbnails, as well as a new COMMbits innovation – the ability of “hooking” posts on pages.

The new project was developed on the WordPress platform, and includes dynamic Search Engine Optimization techniques, a powerful caching mechanism that dramatically improves web access and has been launched on the legendary COMMbits Business web hosting infrastructure in our Premium Data Center.
