Why I'm fundraising

This March, I am stepping up for my fellow NF hero’s. I’m taking part in Step Up for NF to support the Children’s Tumour Foundation and everyone affected by neurofibromatosis (NF). I am the third in my family to be diagnosed with NF type 1. More than 13,000 Australians live with this complex genetic condition, which can cause tumours to grow on nerves throughout the body. I’m stepping up because tumours shouldn’t be anyone’s normal. My goal is to raise $300 to increase awareness and help the Children’s Tumour Foundation provide the support, information and advocacy that families rely on. Your donation, big or small, helps people living with NF get the care and guidance they need. Together, we can turn every step into real change for the NF community.
