What can I do that will bring about a change to the way I live with this disorder, for those suffering with this disorder, and ultimately solve the genetic puzzle that is NF? (And for the uninitiated, that's Neurofibromatosis.) This is the short story of Julia, my wife, and her continuing journey of life with NF...

Last year, my friend Tracy and I wanted to take a trip to Africa. At first we simply wanted to explore another country, go on a safari, and enjoy a vacation as most people try to do with their average two weeks per year. What we didn’t realize is that the trip would turn into one of the most amazing experiences that would change the way we travel forever...

Like many women, I started running for the most basic of reasons: to stay fit. In a relatively short time, I realized that being physically fit is one thing, but as a whole person, I can be much more fit if I translate my running into community service, and running races to benefit various charities has become important to my fitness routine...
