Angus and NF

One in every 3,000 children is born with neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow all over the body. We need to take action now so that no child or adult has to face the challenges of NF – learning disabilities, blindness, pain, deafness, cancer, disfigurement, bone defects and cardiovascular problems. There is no cure for NF, but as a parent of a child suffering from this disfiguring and painful disease and also a member of the Running Bug - NF Endurance Team (a fundraising support arm of the Ladybug Foundation) we are fighting to change that through raising awareness.

Angus's tumour contines to grow and is now at the point where it is life threatening. Please help me raise funds for Angus and family to make a much need to trip to the NF clinic in Sydney to obtain a better insight to his condition and hopefully obtain the much needed treatment he and his family so terribly need.

I am wanting to help Angus so I am currently training for various NZ Half Marathons throughout 2016 and 2017.

The Ladybug Foundation, via the Running Bug Endurance Team, has set a goal of raising over $5,000 and I am asking YOU to please make a contribution.

Angus needs your help, your generosity and your support.

Your donation will ensure Angus obtains an insight to his condition and hopefully obtain the much needed treatment he and his family so desperately need. What if this were your child given the diagnoses that this is now life threatening?

Thank you in advance for your generosity.
