I was really nervous & excited coming to this summit as it was my first one. It did not disappoint. I was empowered & motivated to make a difference for myself & others with NF. I found the summit to be very informative. There are new & different possibilities now & I was able to make friendships that will last a lifetime. I finally feel like I can get the care I will need going forward. Thank you for providing this opportunity & all your hard work and dedication did not go unnoticed.

The sessions were engaging and on-point - a nice blend of education/information and human experience/storytelling. The speakers were equally excellent and connected well with the audience.

I learned so much at this event that I thought I had a good handle on. Now, I feel more prepared to care for my son. Educate his medical teams and educators but also feel less helpless.
