www.ctf.org/nf-marathon/overview/

This site CTF has a section on doing a run or walk marathon to raise money for NF. I would love to be a part of this and would like to see if anyone else wants to join in. Maybe we could have the DS NF walk.run for NF...WORLD wide in one day. This (DS) gives us the opportunity to raise some money for a good cause. Something we all know too well and that we know needs more research. Also on the site is information on financial assistance as well as a free Prescription saver card. This is a chance to make a difference and I will swear to start work on making it happen here....Who's with me?
