hey fellow nf’ers its louise here aka wee_lou_c i’m 20 i’m an aquarius as my date of birth is 4th february 1988, i come from the U.K a quaint little town in the bonnie land of scotland it is called glenrothes which i’m guessing is called a state to you guys but its a county here but that is in fife so i’m a fifer. at the age of six i had a biopsy which verified i had nf but i never found this out till i had vision problems at the age of 12 so i was then officially diagnosed with nf2. iv had a little trouble within the years but nothing i couldn’t fight my way through as i believe to get on you have to forget what you have lost and remember who and what you still have. i like to chat as its great speaking about all the different cultures and food and things happening around the world plus i’ve made many new cool friends. i am a complimentary therapist so i like the calm side of life but i’ll never say no to a party. i absolutely love watching lovey dovey films aka chick flicks, i also love scottish stovies they are really braw oh i am sorry i mean good.
take care all and have some fun.

The Lowes have been with the foundation since the very beginning and have been raising funds through a weekly bingo session since 1988. Their devotion and contributions are more than appreciated, they are our inspiration and the backbone of this foundation.

Senator Harkin speaks out for NF! For the past several years, Senator John Harkin has sponsored an “NF Dear Colleague letter.” This letter was drafted to ask that all US Senators support NF research through the Department of Defense Appropriations Committee. These effort are the very reason scientific advancements have been made towards a cure for NF! Please join us by personally thanking Senator Harkin for his continued support.

Dr. Bart Moore, “Just Ask!” and the Children’s Tumor Foundation

Hey Reggie!
I was at the Children’s Tumor Foundation (formerly National NF Foundation) meeting with Dr. Slopis in Florida. I gave a talk on brain imaging in children with NF.

Dr. Riccardi was there also and he ended his talk with these photos of you and him wearing the Just Ask T-shirt. Well, he might have upstaged me, but when I got up to speak I was actually wearing the shirt !! Dr. Slopis took a photo of me wearing it. I even turned around and pointed to the “Just Ask” like you do and everybody clapped. It was really cool and I wish you could have been there. I also ended my talk with the attached slide (Moore CTF fMRI presentation).
There were a lot of important NF researchers and doctors there.

The meeting is still going on but I had to come home and wanted to get you these photos for your website, if you want.
Vic”s slide and my slide both had your website on it so you may be getting some visitors.
Best,
Bart
