What We Do
“Mom found NF Midwest, she calls them our life ring and for good reason, they saved us in more ways than they or anyone else could imagine. We were no longer alone. They sent us information, talked to us gave us a breath when everyone else seemed to have taken it away. Trust me when I say my NF is much easier with them in my corner. ”

Get Involved
“..we reminded ourselves to not get overwhelmed by the info and just to take it all in stride as much as we can. I think when it’s all new to you, it all sounds so scary. Which is why it was so nice to meet other families with happy kids and adults with NF. ”
-Sue

“I received both of your packets in the mail yesterday and I wanted to say THANK YOU! The NF packet provided me with so much information I cannot thank you enough. When we got his diagnosis in November we had never even heard of NF so this has all been a bit of a whirlwind for us. Thank you for providing me with the tools to pass along to his teacher and my family! ”

Great News Article on Neurofibromatosis

Posted By NF Midwest | On December 1st, 2013

Members of NF Midwest’s Central Missouri Group succeeded in getting fantastic article written about neurofibromatosis in the Columbia Daily Tribune. The author, Jodie Jackson, Jr., was approached by the Chapter many months ago about writing it and it ended up being perfectly timed and tied to the Pope’s embrace of a man with neurofibromatosis.

This article not only explained neurofibromatosis and specifically it’s affect on two area families, it also nicely highlighted the need for local care and support – a mission of NF Midwest and it’s chapters.

We applaud this wonderful effort by Central Missouri and appreciate the Thomas and Ridgel families sharing their stories and putting a face to NF. Thank you also to Jodie Jackson, Jr. and the Columbia Daily Tribune.

The Central Missouri Chapter holds regular meetings. For more information check out their page here or email .
