YOU can make a difference in the lives of those affected by neurofibromatosis (NF)!
Will you contribute to my #NFStrong fundraiser as I partner with the Neurofibromatosis (NF) Network to raise funds to find treatments, a cure, and provide support for the 128,000 people living with NF in the US and their families?
Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder of the nervous system which causes tumors to form on the nerves anywhere in the body at any time. This progressive disorder affects all races, ethnic groups, ages, and genders equally. NF is the most common disorder you have never heard of.
Neurofibromatosis (NF) refers to three different genetic medical conditions, Neurofibromatosis type -1, Schwannomatosis (SWN), NF 2 – related Schwannomatosis ( NF2-SWN) involving the development of tumors that may affect the brain, spinal cord, and the nerves that send signals between the brain and spinal cord and all other parts of the body. Most tumors are non-cancerous (benign), although some may become cancerous (malignant).
The NF Network's mission is to continue the search for treatments and a cure while supporting the NF community with education, awareness, and hope. Please consider helping me spread hope and awareness for the NF community as we continue our journey in finding a cure. Thank you!
