NEUROFIBROMATOSIS AWARENESS MONTH, NTL.
About National Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month
Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month occurs in May each year and it is sponsored by the Children’s Tumor Foundation.
Neurofibromatosis is a group of genetic disorders that causes tumors to grow along various types of nerves. NF can also affect the development of non-nervous tissues such as bones and skin. Neurofibromatosis causes tumors to grow anywhere on or in the body.
Types Of Neurofibromatosis
Neurofibromatosis (NF) has been classified into three distinct types: NF1, NF2 and Schwannomatosis.
May is NF Awareness Month and the Children's Tumor Foundation invites you to help increase the public's knowledge of neurofibromatosis.
What You Can Do To Support NF Awareness Month:
Participate in the Children's Tumor Foundation's "Picture a World Without NF" Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month Photo Contest.
* Take a photo with any CTF or NF logo or swag. Bring it to a famous landmark in your neighborhood. Make a funny face. Pose with your friends, family, and neighbors. Express yourself and show the world that no matter where you are, who you are with, or what you are doing, you're fighting for a world without NF.
* Submit as many photos as you like. We'll regularly post the best ones to the CTF Facebook page. The best photo among all those submitted will win a prize at the end of the month.
What you can do in your community:
• Participate in or volunteer at an NF Walk, NF Endurance, or other community event organized by the Children's Tumor Foundation or members of the NF community. Please go to www.ctf.org/calendar to find opportunities in your area.
• Create a fundraiser to benefit NF research. For suggestions, please visit www.ctf.org/fundraisingideas.
• Put the "About NF" flyer up in your community (in your workplace, at the public library, in coffee shops, on civic center bulletin boards, in grocery stores, etc.) , and pass them out to friends and coworkers. The flyer is available for download at www.ctf.org/nfawareness.
