Shine A Light NF Walk

Описание: Shine a Light NF Walk is the signature fundraising event of the Children’s Tumor Foundation. Our goal is to spread awareness of NF, which refers to all types of neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis - genetic conditions that collectively affect more than 4 million people worldwide. The Shine A Light NF Walk program also raises critical funds to advance research and treatments. Held in communities across the USA, Shine a Light NF Walks are family-friendly events where NF patients, families, and friends can connect with others on a similar journey.

About CTF:
The Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF) is the drug discovery engine for NF. Everything we do is to bring treatments to patients as we work toward a cure. By connecting patients, doctors, scientists, and pharma, we drive treatments, advance care, and deliver results for millions affected by neurofibromatosis or schwannomatosis, collectively referred to as NF. Our patient-first collaborative approach accelerates drug development and brings life-changing therapies to patients faster, driven by our mission to end NF.

What is NF?
NF refers to a group of genetic conditions that cause tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. NF affects 1 in 2,000 births and may lead to blindness, deafness, bone abnormalities, disfigurement, learning disabilities, disabling pain, or cancer. NF affects all races, ethnic groups, and genders equally. The types of NF include neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) and all types of schwannomatosis (SWN), including NF2-related schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN), formerly called neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2).
