Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that can cause tumors to form on the nerves anywhere in the body at any time. NF is associated with disfigurement, learning disabilities, deafness, vision impairment, epilepsy and cancer. At this time, there is no effective treatment or cure for NF. NF affects three times as many people as muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis combined, yet many people have never even heard of it. The mission of the NF Network is to find treatments and a cure for neurofibromatosis by promoting scientific research, improving clinical care, providing outreach through education and awareness, while offering hope and support to those affected by NF. The funds that are donated through this page enable the NF Network to continue and further our mission. The NF Network is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.
