NF2 is rare but it can touch anybody world-wide, across borders, across languages. To push for NF2 gene therapy research we need to reach more people, share the real potential of gene therapy and fundraise for accelerating research because no governments, or country, or hospital will do it for us. Other rare disease organizations have succeeded in raising millions of dollars for their own gene therapy research. We can do it as well.
See who we already have as ambassadors, if there is someone in your country, you can still join that person and be co-ambassador and team up, more brains, more power, more fun!
