Walk for NF

Every step makes a difference!

Want to get involved in the NF cause? Then consider organizing a Walk for NF in your community. It is a fun way to bring family, friends and local community together to raise funds and generate awareness for neurofibromatosis.

The Walk for NF is a national program that will raise both awareness and vital resources to support individuals and families who are affected by neurofibromatosis (NF), and fund research to improve treatments and find a cure.

Affecting 1 in 3,000 births, NF causes tumours to grow on nerves throughout the body and can lead to blindness, loss of hearing, learning disabilities, skeletal defects and many other serious complications.
