We may not be fast, but we’re getting stronger! 🏃♀️🏃♂️💙 Rob and I are training to run more and walk less as we prepare for the Disney Wine & Dine 5K—all while running for the Cure NF2 Foundation!
We’re also super excited to meet fellow Cure NF2 Foundation board members, along with other runners and walkers coming from around the world! 🌎💙 Some are taking on the 5K, others the 10K and Half Marathon—but no matter the distance, we’re all coming together with the same purpose: raising funds and awareness for NF2 and helping move us closer to better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
Every step has a purpose! 💙💚🏃♀️🏃♂️ #CureNF2 #RunForACure #WineAndDine5K #runDisney
Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2) is a rare disorder affecting 1/28,000 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
