About This Cause
In 1981, determined to improve the lives of their children a group of dedicated and concerned parents came together to form what would become Neurofibromatosis Midwest (NF Midwest). On December 31, 1981 they celebrated the coming New Year by signing the original incorporation letter as the Illinois Neurofibromatosis Foundation. At the time, very little was known about neurofibromatosis. There were no clinics, research, educational material or systems of support. But the tenacity and strength of these original NF families laid the groundwork to become a part of a great collaboration which led to monumental progress in care, awareness, research, education and support. Today, because of their foresight and the hard work and dedication of thousands of families and volunteers across our area, NF Midwest is the only local/regional organization offering care, support and hope to NF adults, children and families. We are dependent on funds raised by special events, foundations and individual donations. Support us in the fight against neurofibromatosis by visiting our Get Involved page or Donation page.
