Cure NF2 Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend

We're excited to share that we will be participating in the Disney Princess 5K during Disney Princess Half Marathon Weekend as charity runners for Cure NF2 Foundation!

This event is much more than a race for us—it's an opportunity to support a cause that is deeply personal to our family. Elizabeth's brother has Neurofibromatosis (NF), and we have seen firsthand the challenges that come with this condition. While many people may not be familiar with NF, it affects thousands of individuals and families who face ongoing medical treatments, uncertainty, and daily obstacles.

That's why we chose to support Cure NF2 Foundation. Their mission is to advance research, provide resources for patients and families, and work toward better treatments and a cure for NF2-related schwannomatosis.

As we prepare for race weekend, we are also raising funds and awareness for this incredible organization. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps support research and provides hope to individuals and families affected by NF.

If you're able, please consider making a donation or sharing our fundraiser with others. Together, we can help make a difference in the lives of those affected by NF.

Thank you for supporting this cause that means so much to our family. We are grateful for your encouragement and generosity as we take on this journey together.

With gratitude,

Elizabeth & Joseph

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.
