Over the last two years, I have had the honor of being part of the life of Austin, a student at my school who has become like a little brother to me. I am participating in Steps2Cure NF for him and to raise awareness and support for those affected by neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that causes tumors to form on nerves throughout the body. The money raised will support the mission of NF Northeast, funding patient support programs, advocacy efforts, and cutting edge research, and will provide hope and help to individuals and families impacted by NF. Every step I take brings us closer to better treatments, increased awareness, and a brighter future—thank you for your support!
