Shine a Light NF Walk

Shine a Light NF Walk is the signature fundraising event of the Children’s Tumor Foundation. Our goal is to spread awareness of neurofibromatosis and schwannomatosis - genetic conditions that collectively affect more than 4 million people worldwide - and raise critical funds to advance research and treatments. Held in communities across the US, Shine a Light NF Walks are family-friendly events where NF patients, families, and friends can connect with others on a similar journey. For more information, contact us at shinealightwalk@ctf.org
