The Children's Tumor Foundation's mission is to drive research, expand knowledge, and advance care for the NF community.
Since its formation, the Children’s Tumor Foundation has been crucial to the development of solid scientific data about the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis (NF). Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, we are breaking through barriers and forging the pathway that will lead to a cure.
AJ was diagnosed with NF1 when he was just 6 months old. Having NF means that AJ has to try harder to do things that most kids might think are super easy. It does not stop him though. AJ is a thinker and a do-er. If he can't do something one way, he'll keep trying until he figures out a way that he can. AJ thinks that the unknown is the scariest part of having NF, but he does not plan on letting it stop him from reaching for his goals though.

We’re proud to announce that our latest annual report – titled From Process to Progress – is now available to read online. Outlining the Foundation’s activities over the past year, from research to awareness to patient support, the annual report highlights a vibrant NF community that is making great progress in the fight to end NF. Additionally, the financial pages offer transparency on how funds are spent, earning the Foundation a four-star rating from Charity Navigator once again. And of course, none of this is possible without the support of all of you – the thousands of donors who give to ensure that NF research and programs continue.
