Tom McPeek is a cofacilitator for the DM2 Support Group and a moderator for the DM2 Facebook Group. Unlike most regional support groups that are geographically focused, this group is for anyone diagnosed with DM2, no matter what City, State or even Country you live in. Tom was diagnosed with Myotonic Dystrophy Type 2 in 2006 and has been active with the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation for over 10 years. He was elected to the Board in December of 2020.
Tom presented at the Food and Drug Administration’s 2016 DM Patient-Focused Drug Development Meetings in Arlington, VA and has been involved in numerous presentations and panels for the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation’s Annual Conferences and other venues. Tom remains active in his local Ohio community and continues to volunteer his time with organizations that serve his community. Tom’s hobbies include dog training, hunting, fishing, and working outdoors. Tom believes the key to surviving with DM2 is to stay positive and remain as physically active as your body will allow.
