MDA's Goodwill Ambassador - Abbey Umali

Abbey Umali is a vivacious, intelligent youngster who has Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease. In the video, we see Abbey being examined at MDA clinic, and we hear her dad talking about Abbey's dream that one day her braces will fall away and shell be able to run without them. This inspiring little girl, who loves swimming, singing and playing the piano, has shown herself to be a powerful representative for MDA, first in California and now as MDA's National Goodwill Ambassador.
