"I was diagnosed with NF2 in 2016, after a visit to the ER with ongoing numbness in my mouth. In 2017, I had surgery to remove my left brain tumor, leaving me deaf in my left ear, and with permanent facial paralysis. In 2018, I picked up running, and I ran my first 1/2 marathon in 2019. That summer I joined the NF Endurance team [and ran] my first marathon in Little Rock, AR [in February 2020]. "Leading up to my 40th birthday on July 4th, I started training in January for Lu...bbock Texas Ironman 70.3, 7 days before I turn 40, so I could raise money and awareness for NF." -Cody Eaves | NF Endurance Athlete #bornafighter #iknowafighter #makeNFvisible #endNF #NFendurance

"What I would say about NF that people can’t see is that they look past me as a person. They don’t see me, they see the NF, and they don’t really know how to approach me about it. I don’t mind people asking me. I want to stop parents from yelling at their children. I just wish people would stop seeing the NF and see me for who I am." -Hank Mohr, NF Hero Hank is the reason that Christy Bell Mohr joined our NF Endurance Team. She dedicates her training and fundraising in honor ...of her husband. By raising awareness to Make NF Visible and funds to END NF, together they are making a difference for themselves and the millions of families like theirs who are impacted by neurofibromatosis. If NF affects your life or someone you know, get involved and tell your story. We welcome you to submit your Make NF Visible video today and help the world to see you, and see NF. Submit your video at ctf.org/myvideo, and see more Make NF Visible videos at youtube.com/MakeNFVisible. #bornafighter #iknowafighter #makenfvisible #endnf

"I was diagnosed with NF1 soon after the pediatrician noticed multiple café-au-lait spots. In 2007, I ran my first marathon with my brother and sister raising awareness and money for CTF. Since then, I run the Flying Pig Marathon every year for CTF. "My life’s goal is to continue raising awareness and monies for CTF. Never give up, never give in, and never quit. I believe there is a cure in my lifetime. My mantra: 'Begin the day with a lion’s roar and end with a kitten’s purr.'" -Chuck Dolish, NF Endurance Athlete #bornafighter #iknowafighter #makeNFvisible #endNF #nfendurance
