We are sorry for the inconvenience, this is STILL the NF Endurance Energy Blog. We updated our WordPress version and it kind of messed things up... ehh errr... It should hopefully be fixed soon!
INVEST
Here are five reasons from Dr. Kim Hunter-Schaedle, chief scientific officer, why investing in the Children’s Tumor Foundation is a smart choice. Yes, there are many reputable foundations that fund research, but the Children’s Tumor Foundation sets itself apart with a commitment to transparency, fiscal responsibility and medical excellence.
ROCK
NFE goes coast-to-coast in one week from Vermont to Washington. Led by Cindy Rulon, the NFE Seattle Team will run the Rock ‘n’ Roll Seattle Marathon. It’s the second year NFE will participate in this run, and already the team has raised more than $31,000 to invest in medical research for the Foundation (surpassing their goal of $25,000).
REMEMBER Pete Dingeman inspired our team with his dedication to finding a cure for NF, and for his caring and optimistic attitude toward life’s challenges. This weekend LENOX Industrial will dedicate the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 to NF Hero Pete Dingeman, the winner of the LENOX Extra-Mile Hero Contest. To read more, click here.
