Please join me in helping to raise funds for the NEUROFIBROMATOSIS CLINICS ASSOCIATION

This is the Pittsburgh based charity helping all of the children and adults who have been diagnosed with this HORRIBLE DISEASE! Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that disturbs cell growth in your nervous system, causing tumors to form on nerve tissue. These tumors may develop anywhere in your nervous system, including in your brain, spinal cord and nerves. Neurofibromatosis is usually diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood.

My dear, sweet, 13-year-old niece Mary Kate was diagnosed at the age of 2 years old! She said to me a couple of months ago, "Mimi everyone supports the Heart association, the Cancer Foundation, and many others like these, and that's really great, BUT no one knows about NEUROFIBROMATOSIS!!!!" She said, "We have to do something, and Mimi YOU are the only one that can help to raise awareness!"

So I am reaching out to all of you around the globe!
Here is the link to the NFCA's donation page.
All currencies are accepted.

I ALONG WITH MARY KATE AND MANY OTHERS AFFLICTED WITH THIS DISEASE WILL BE SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!!!!
