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. ”
-Myshell
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
Learn
“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! ”

Posted By Diana Haberkamp | On December 7th, 2013

Our hearts are heavy at the loss of Marcy Perlman on December 6, 2013. Marcy was a true NF fighter and simply a wonderful, loving person. A former NF Midwest board member and a strong supporter of the NF cause and community, Marcy had an incredible and positive spirit. She was a constant presence at NF events and a friend to many. Marcy was, and always will be, an inspiration to anyone who has ever met her. She will be missed and thought of often and fondly.

In October of 2012, Marcy gave an interview regarding her NF for possible inclusion in a future NF Midwest piece. Please, view it below.

The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to NF Midwest at 473 Dunham Rd, Suite 3, St. Charles, IL or online at www.nfmidwest.org/donate. These donations will be used to help NF adults and in a spirit that Marcy would appreciate.

Marcy’s funeral will be Tuesday, December 10 at 2 PM at Westlawn Cemetery Chapel, 7801 W Montrose Ave, Norridge, IL 60706 with interment to follow. Visitation will be on Tuesday after the funeral from 5-9 at St. Joseph Hospital 2900 N Lake Shore Dr., Chicago, Boikan Rm 2, 2nd floor. Main Entrance, Parking lot and valet parking available.
