Make a Difference in the Life of Someone With Neurofibromatosis!

As our year ends in this season of love,

embrace someone with NF.

Dear Friend,

This year Pope Francis wrapped his arms in love around a man covered with tumors.

Will you do the same?

Make a Difference Today!

That man had neurofibromatosis or simply NF.

Over 2 million people in the world suffer from NF. Many are covered with tumors like that courageous man. Others carry tumors inside, have severe bone problems that cause amputation, have cancer, severe pain, learning disabilities and more.

Many have suffered and died in loneliness. Others struggle everyday looking for love, hope and understanding while living with the uncertainties of NF.

You can embrace those people by supporting Neurofibromatosis Midwest. NF Midwest has been working for over 30 years to offer hope and comfort to people with NF through education, awareness, clinical care, research and support for the people in its six state region.

We care and we know you care. Your compassionate donation this holiday season helps NF Midwest continue this important work.

Thank You,

Diana Haberkamp
Executive Director
NF Midwest

PS. If you want to help in the efforts of a specific NF Champion or team you can donate to their efforts by marking it on the donation.
