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 TOSRV bike event you can then create a personal fundraising web page. Then you 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. The NF Endurance Team is committed to raising funds and awareness so one day there will be a cure for NF! Help us get there. Mile by mile, step by step, 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.
