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! ”

Neurofibromatosis Champions Reach Out to the Media

Posted By NF Midwest | On October 18th, 2013

Yesterday we talked about the brave NF Champions that raise awareness by speaking in front of various audiences about neurofibromatosis. Other NF Champions take it to the masses through media. Often this involves having a contact in the media or putting out their own emotional, personal story.

Some of our NF Champions in media exposure include our Madison Great Steps Committee of Tim, Kristin and Katy who had a wonderful news story on TV the night before the walk and the Geier family who also had a great story run in the news in Madison just before their Links for Lauren golf benefit. Also, Crystal R. in Chippewa Falls has arranged for Alex and Cora of WAXX 104.4 to host the Chippewa Great Steps 4NF walk in May.

Gabby A. had an article published in a local Chicago newspaper and Jaime C. has arranged some media exposure for a bowling event.

Getting media attention is hugely important for neurofibromatosis awareness and we have NF Champions that have contacts or simply have the determination to get it done. Thank you to our NF Champions who are spreading the word neurofibromatosis through media outlets big and small across the US.
