This September I am joining the NF Hero Challenge in support of the Children's Tumour Foundation and families across Australia impacted by Neurofibromatosis (NF). NF is a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow on nerves throughout the body, including the brain and spine. It is progressive, unpredictable and there is no cure. But there is hope. I will be running 2 and 5 kms on alternate days this month leading to a huge 25km trail at the end of September, representing the 1 in 2,500 people in Australia affected by this condition and raising much needed funds to ensure those impacted can feel supported on their difficult journey ahead. I have a goal to raise $2500 to support the Children's Tumour Foundation's investment into research, specialist clinics and vital support services. I myself have NF2, I have multiple large tumours affecting my spinal cord, which require surgery in the near future. I experience severe pain, anxiety and uncertainty everyday, but I am forging ahead to show my support to those who are affected even more than I am, those facing multiple surgeries, some facing chemo, the ones facing hearing loss and others dealing with the anxiety and pain of this condition. Please help me reach my goal and complete my challenge by making a tax deductible donation. Let's #conquerNF together. Be a hero today!
