Congrats to the NFE San Francisco Team which completed the SF Marathon this weekend, coming just shy of reaching $20,000 for NF research.
You can help them reach $20K by making a donation. Together we are coming one step closer to ending NF.
NF Endurance. It’s in you. It’s possible.

READ
It’s worth the time to read Candice Patterson’s inspiring article, “Some Assembly Required,” on More.com. Candice wrote the article for More magazine’s One Amazing Thing contest. Candice heads up the Butterfly Challenge to support the Foundation, and she constantly looks for ways to use her life to help others. A heads up from Candice: some articles in her Butterfly Challenge Journals include adult language.

Active Page of the Week:
It’s hard to keep up with Roxanne Thomas — she seems to always be training, running in an event, or planning an activity to help spread awareness about NF. However, Roxanne’s Active giving page brings all of her activities together in a fun, festive way. Roxanne has run several 5Ks this summer, and she has been busy planning a “Hot Undies Run” with her daughter Carissa on Aug. 21, 2010 in Houston, Texas.
