Hike 4NF
Update
In just 28
days Jodie, Kevin and Dustin will put a few belongings in their backpacks and
Hike4NF through the spring, summer,
and fall. They will weather the rain, heat, fatigue, miles, storms, and who
knows what else.
Their
mission: to spread the word. "This is what Neurofibromatosis (NF) is. This
is how you can help." Like the politicians combing the US to shake hands,
they will roam this vast country on behalf of us, people affected by NF.
They will
share their knowledge of NF and share their
stories. Their goal is to collect $100,000 for NF Inc. To help better the
lives of those affected by NF.
What can you do? Make a donation. Share their website with family and
friends to make a donation. Meet them
on their journey. Walk a few miles.
They are counting down. They have just 4 weeks till they begin. Lets give
them a sign of support and make a donation. Lets show the country how
strong we are in numbers. How we want
research. We want cures. We want doctors to specialize in our surgical
needs. The louder we give and share this story with others, the better we
will be heard. I know this to be true!
So give what you can and pass it on to others. Let's help Jodie, and Dustin
and Kevin begin their trek with our sign of support and our blessing.
