Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a debilitating genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow randomly throughout the body on the nerve sheaths. NF occurs in more than one in 3,000 births – more than Cystic Fibrosis, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and Huntington’s Disease combined.

Fortunately, there now is a way you can help alleviate the suffering…simply by riding in a bike event to help raise money for NF research and services. Here’s how it works: Once you have registered for the 2010 Minnesota Ironman Bicycle Event a personal fundraising web page is created for you. You may then ask for donations from family, friends, coworkers, neighbors, etc. Don’t worry! It’s not as difficult as you think. In fact, we’ll give you the tools you’ll need to raise the money.

Through this site, you have the option of fundraising individually or starting or joining a team. NF Endurance is committed to raising funds and awareness so one day there will be a cure for NF! Help us get there. Mile by mile you’ll be enabling the life-saving mission of the Children’s Tumor Foundation, while meeting new friends and experiencing something you’ll never forget. Please visit our website at www.nfendurance.org or email nfendurance@ctf.org for further details.
