May is NF Awareness Month!
This month we’re celebrating awareness, visibility, and community. Join us as we highlight NF and share ways to help make it more visible.
When people understand NF, they can offer greater support and compassion. Spreading awareness helps bring neurofibromatosis into everyday conversations and reminds our community that no one fights alone.

More Ways to Spread Awareness
“NF” refers to a group of complex, often devastating genetic conditions with the primary feature of causing tumors. That’s why every May, NF Midwest leads the effort in recognizing NF Awareness Month through our State Proclamations!
A state proclamation is a powerful way to bring visibility to important causes. Our goal is to secure proclamations in our six-state region – and you can help make that happen!
Contact us for our proclamation that you can personalize!
May is when our community joins together to spread awareness and raise funds for NF Midwest with our Walk4NF events. Join us as we ensure No one Fights alone!
Want to bring the spirit of a Walk4NF to your community? Consider hosting a DIY event. You can find information, inspiration, and more here!
Visit our NF Midwest Shop, which has t-shirts, ribbons, wristbands, awareness information cards, and more!
Your experience is powerful. Sharing your story is one of the most personal and effective ways to show others the reality of living with NF. It can inspire action, create connection, and show others they are not alone. Stories travel with us to Washington, D.C., appear on our website, are shared on social media, and more!
