| This is going to be a fun walk at a beautiful time of the year for everyone near and far to get together to raise awareness about Neurofibromatosis (NF).
NF is a genetic disease that causes tumors to grow wherever there is a nerve. Our Dylan has tumors on his brainstem and spinal cord, scoliosis, pain in neck and back, facial numbness, weakness in legs,etc and at this time there is NO CURE.
Come join me and my family and friends as we walk (kids can ride bikes) for our 3 yr old son Dylan and lets find a cure together . Please come out and show your support, we need you all more than ever!!This is gonna be a fun, family event ending with an old fashioned picnic.
There are several ways to participate in the walk. All registrations are FREE. RAISE $500 AND GET A TOTE BAG.
1.Register as an INDIVIDUAL WALKER. This option will be appropriate for most of you. You can register yourself and/or your family members who will be joining you on a single page. You can also create an individual fundraising page that allows you to send a fundraising link to other family and friends, letting them know about the walk, and inviting their own registration and/or contributions.
2.Register as a TEAM CAPTAIN. This option is appropriate if you want to invite friends to create their own fundraising pages, and distribute their fundraising pages to their friends. All fundraising pages created in this manner will be linked to the same Team, and fundraising totals for that Team will appear on the Walk’s web page.
3.Register as a member of an EXISTING TEAM. You will be asked to provide the Team name when you register.

Did you know? NF causes tumors to grow on nerves anywhere in the body, including the brain and spinal cord. It can lead to blindness, deafness, chronic pain, disfigurement, learning disabilities, bone defects, cardiovascular problems, cancer and a wide range of other complications. It affects people of all races and ethnic origins, and half of all cases arise in families with no history of the disorder. Anyone's next child could be born with NF.
NF Walk is a national program that raises both awareness and critical funds to support the hundreds of thousands of adults, children and families who battle neurofibromatosis (NF) every day. Funds raised through the NF Walk program support the Children's Tumor Foundation, a nonprofit organization that funds world-class research into NF therapies to treat and eventually cure NF.
