My son, Avery and I have NF2.I was diagnosed in 2006; Avery in 2007.Once I got past the initial shock of the diagnosis and the scare of my surgery, I began to realize that my and my son’s NF2 case was very mild compared to others in our NF community. Since my surgery I was determined to use my energy to learn and advance knowledge of this disorder to whomever I could. I learned about NF2 Biosolutions and I knew I had to help out this very meaningful effort, to advance a cure for NF2 through gene therapy.I am excited to be an Ambassador for Michigan for NF2 BioSolutions and to meet others willing to join me in raising awareness and funds for this cause.
