Cure NF2 Disney Wine and Dine Race Weekend ‘26

Running at Disney World feels a little bit like stepping into a place where anything is possible—and that’s exactly the kind of hope I’m running with.

I’m taking on this race to help find a cure for NF2, but this isn’t something I can do alone. It truly takes a community to move this forward, and that’s where you come in.

Every single dollar donated goes directly toward advancing NF2 research and helping bring new treatments closer to reality. No matter the amount, your support is meaningful—it’s another step forward, another bit of momentum, another reason to keep pushing ahead.

If you’re able, I would be so grateful for your support as I work toward my $30,000 goal. Together, we can turn hope into progress—and maybe even a little magic into a cure. ✨

Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) is a rare disorder affecting 2/28,000 people and is characterized by the development of tumors like schwannomas that cause significant daily physical and emotional suffering for patients. Finding a cure or preventative treatment is crucial to ensure that those living with NF2 can lead full and productive lives. Additionally, because mutations in the NF2 gene are present in many other benign tumors and cancers, developing a cure for NF2 could ultimately pave the way for treating a wide range of other conditions, including sporadic vestibular schwannomas, meningiomas, and over twenty cancer types that contain NF2 mutations.
