Education = Power!


"Education is not the answer to the question. Education is the means to the answer to all questions."
-- William Allin


1> Neurofibromatosis has been classified into three types. Can you name them?

2> What is THE MOST common feature of Neurofibromatosis Type 1?

3> True of False "NF" affect males and females equally?

4> True or False "NF" is very contagious?

8> How many people WORLD-WIDE does NF2 affect?

One of the greatest gifts we have, is our voice. With our voice we can talk to others about Neurofibromatosis. We don't have to fear this disorder. Each day may bring us challenges, but it also brings us a new opportunity to teach someone.
Go out and use your voice today....make an impact on someone and talk to them about Neurofibromatosis!
