CA - Andrew Vigil PDF Print E-mail

Hi, my name is Andrew and I was diagnosed with NF1 when I was 5 years old. I am now 10 years old and NF has affected me in many ways.

 

I have tumors on my optic nerves, brain stem and now on my upper spine. The doctors tell me that I am stable and doing well. School has been very hard lately but with my moms help in getting me what I need I know I will do well.

NF is not stopping me in what I love to do, which is playing baseball, riding my bike, becoming a video game master, or reenacting my favorite NASCAR race!

Thank you for your support and helping me and other NF Hero's fight to end Neurofibromatosis!

DONATE TO ANDREW
