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! ”

Same Mission: New Way of Saying It

Posted By NF Midwest | On April 4th, 2014

NF Midwest C.A.R.E.S.

If you read our spring 2014 newsletter or our annual review you may have noticed that we have rewritten our mission statement. However, though the text has changed our mission remains essentially the same as it has been for 30 years. We feel this new mission statement clarifies what we do, why we do it and how we do it.

Our new mission statement is:

NF Midwest is committed to improving the lives of children, adults, and families impacted by neurofibromatosis. Our continued focus and foundation is on Clinics, Awareness, Research, Education and Support in the states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and the eastern half of Missouri.

We also have a new acronym to make it easy to remember we do. That is NF Midwest C.A.R.E.S. by focusing on five areas – Clinics, Awareness, Research, Education and Support.

We have always been committed to the NF community. We believe neurofibromatosis is a lifelong, life affecting, and continually evolving disorder that needs this five pronged approach to better the lives of people with it. To do that end we have been and continue to be here for it all—from diagnosis on—and we want it all—Clinics, Awareness, Research, Education and Support!

If you have any questions or want to help in anyway with our mission please contact us at 630.945.3562 or email . We also welcome donations of any size at nfmidwest.org/donate.

Please, also consider an automatic monthly donation.

Consistent giving helps us KEEP HOPE IN MOTION!
