Great Steps for NF walks take place across the country, and are a result of meeting the need individuals with Neurofibromatosis (NF) have to meet one another. It is a great way to involve family and friends, meet others who affected by NF, while raising awareness of this disorder and to create funding for NF research.
If you would like to host a Great Steps Walk in your area, please contact the NF Network at admin@nfnetwork.org to get started!
