My name is Wyatt and I have a disease called neurofibromatosis (NF1). This is a disease that effects the central nervous system. This causes me to have cafe-au-lait spots all over my body, plexiform neurofibromas, and tumors in my brain. This also makes my skin itchy all the time. Having NF causes my legs to hurt and it's difficult to walk for a long period of time, and has caused me to have multiple learning disabilities. Sadly there is no cure for NF. I hope that in the future there is, so all of us suffering from it can be cured.
I will not let NF get in the way of the things that I want to do in life. I have many different hobbies some of which are, Nascar racing, riding horses with my dad, playing catch with my brother, wrestling with my dog, and golfing. I can almost beat my grandpa at golf!
I have an opportunity to go to the Daytona 24 race in Florida this January. The Children's Tumor Foundation has an NF car that is used in the races to raise money for a cure. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. Please help me get there by donating.
