Texas Neurofibromatosis Foundation is committed to meeting the needs of people impacted by neurofibromatosis by providing comfort, support, education, advocacy and funding of research for a treatment, prevention or cure. The Foundation is dependent on funds raised by special events, foundations, and individual donations to survive. Neurofibromatosis is an obscure neurological disorder that can cause uncontrolled growth of tumors along the nervous system and may result in disfigurement, deformity, deafness, blindness, brain tumors, cancer and even death. Although it is not well known, it affects one out of every 3,000 births. This disorder poses life-long challenges for NF patients and their families.
