What is the NF Walk "Every step makes a difference?The 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. NF causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body and can lead to blindness, loss of hearing, learning disabilities, skeletal defects and many other serious complications. Funds raised through the NF Walk program support the Children’s Tumor Foundation, a non-profit organization that funds world-class research into NF therapies to treat and eventually cure NF.
Please note; during the registration process you will have the option to have an online personal fundraising page created for you which will be linked to the Alabama NF Walk fundraising campaign.
