What is NF?
Most people have not heard of Neurofibromatosis (NF). It is a genetic disorder of the nervous system that causes tumors to form on the nerves anywhere on the body at any time. NF affects all races, all ethnic groups and both sexes equally. NF affects more people than Cystic Fibrosis and Muscular Dystrophy combined, and may be associated with deafness, vision impairment, epilepsy, learning disabilities, bone abnormalities, and cancer.
Please come out and help us keep the hope alive for the 1.5 million people faced with NF.
Proceeds from Steps2Cure NF will support NF Northeast, a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization. Their mission is to find a treatment and cure for neurofibromatosis by promoting scientific research, creating awareness, and supporting those who are affected by NF.
