I lost my voice, but help others find theirs

NF Hope Concert expands to NYC

More than 80 people attended the University of Wisconsin's inaugural NF1 Symposium May 3. The event left attendees with "a feeling of hope and When Jeff and Melody Leibow founded the NF Hope Concert in 2011, they dreamed it would be held numerous cities across the country.

People helping people

In 2013, Jenn Krawchyk, the mother of a young boy, Kyle, with NF1, from Boardman, OH, called the NF Network looking for a way to connect with people with NF in her area and raise funds for NF research. Four years later I find myself in Boardman Park, early on a Saturday morning with a gentleman named “Ron Maxwell, like the coffee.”

Upcoming Events
The mission of the  NF Network "is  to find treatments and a cure for neurofibromatosis by promoting scientific research, improving clinical care, and providing outreach through education and awareness while offering hope and support to those who affected by NF."
