All funds raised between now and the end of June will go towards funding a potentially life-saving therapy trial for sufferers of NF1.

For some families, this research trial could mean the difference between their child reaching adulthood or not.

Help us #ConquerNF

NF is a genetic condition affecting up to 1 in 2,500 individuals.

What is Neurofibromatosis?

Neurofibromatosis (NF) is one of the most common genetic conditions. It can affect anyone regardless of ethnicity, age, gender or family history. Sufferers develop benign tumours called neurofibromas, which grow around the body's nerve cells - under the surface of the skin, deep in the body, including the spinal cord and brain. These growths can cause sufferers problems with their vision and balance - even blindness and deafness.
