Yonairis Smith (and her dog) attended the inaugural NF walk in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, last year with a team of more than 20 family and friends supporting her.
Smith, a college student with NF2, was excited to have an NF event in her area.
“My mom and I have been searching forever to find families with NF,” she said. “I'm happy we finally did!”
