We would love for you to participate! Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, every bit of support matters.
Dress up in your best ducky costume for a chance to win the best costume award—let’s get creative!
Did you know that neurofibromatosis affects one in every 2,500 births? It’s one of the most common rare genetic disorders, yet many people are still unaware of it. The NF Network is dedicated to helping families and raising awareness about this condition. Your support is crucial in ensuring this important work continues.
So come out, have some fun, and be part of something special! We can’t wait to see you there! 🦆💛
