Jeane touched many hearts while she was on earth, and still in heaven. She was a first grade teacher. WE LOVE AND MISS YOU JEANE!!!!!!!!

  • @theshaanimawbeyshow @nikothecroat - the camp runs through age 21, this year's sessions almost full but if you're interested email Patrice at ppancza@ctf.org for more info.

  • @CTForg thank you, i think ill go next year

  • @CTForg I am very happy to see that there is something out there like this. Hopefully, someday there won't be a need because everyone will understand one another. I am an RN in New Jersey; do you take volunteers or have openings for employment? I think it would be something I would like to be apart of.

  • Hey I'm 19 i have nf1 i live in new zealand could i come to your camp????

  • going dis july cant wait

  • going dis july cant wait

  • I have NF1 but I have to say, I am very blessed by God. Even though I have NF1, I moved out of my parents house and moved to Los Angeles and went to school to become a chef. I have worked on a cruse ship in Hawaii for three years. Have faith in yourself and know no matter what you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

    more about my NF1 it is located on the right side of my face,neck and back of my head. I had two sergerys in the past. I have found diet and working out help shrink it

  • I wish this place was around when I was a kid. I have been made fun my whole life because of my NF. I never felt normal even now that I'm 30 I still don't feel normal. I think a place like this would have helped me. I even live close to this camp. And I just now found out it exiats.

  • @101snaps i have it too and im 21... i was made fun of but i have one best friend that stayed with me threw it all 

  • I wish this place was around when I was a kid. I have been made fun my whole life because of my NF. I never felt normal even now that I'm 30 I still don't feel normal. I think a place like this would have helped me.

  • i have NF and im lucky to not have any tumours yet, but my whole body is covered in the birthmarks, its so horrible i use to always get teased as a kid at school.

  • I want to go soooo badly! Having grown up with NF, I've aked all about it to my parents and in the past year I've done so much research and learned so much,. I'm even writing a book about a girl my age who has it. I would absolutely LOVE to go! I just have to go convince my mom and dad to let me. I think it'd be an amazing experience. Out of curiousity, how much does it cost? Thanks so much for posting this video! It looks like a ton of fun!

  • @Liontail100 I went and I would be happy to help persuade them to let you go. They can email me or whatever it was a life changing opportunity.

  • anything for 3 year olds?

  • wish i could have gone to something like this when I was younger. It loks like a lot fun.

  • do they have slots open for camp counselors? im 23, so im allittle old to attend camp, but i have NF1, please let me know

  • Hi @babyblueeyes716, unfortunately 23 is too old for the counselor-in-training program but you can still come as a volunteer if you can get to Salt Lake City, then pay for room, board, and entrance to outside activities (roughly $300). Email Patrice Pancza at ppancza@ctf.org if you're interested in more info. Hope that helps!

    I'm 41, I've known about this disorder for many years and had a few surgically removed from my arm, chest and a small one from my stomach. they progress as I get older. wish they're was some way to prevent them from sreading or passing it on.

    my heart goes out to all of you-

  • As a child it was so hard for me - i use to be teased a lot at one point i was called raisin bran, spots. I really hated myself. Even now at 26 year old female i have self esteem issues, I wish i had this.

  • One tip is to STAY OUT OF THE SUN. WEAR SUN SCREEN

  • I am having an operation in under two weeks to remove a lump which they aren't sure if it is tumourus. But it will be gone. I see an NF specialist in London but they have nothing like this for kids with NF here.

  • ive got one on my left thigh... they say if i get it removed it would activate more

  • Oh, not good. Sorry to hear that but I guess it is best to keep it then.

  • is your like pink and mushy?

  • No, no the one I am having operated on. It is growing inside my arm so it just looks like I have a fat arm but it is getting really big now that I even have to by clothes 2 sizes too big so my arm will fit, sometimes even bigger clothes. I do have one like that though, on my ankle.

  • my little sister has NF1 and she's gotten teased about her cafe au lait spots numerous times by little, ignorant kids yet she remains to be such an optomistic person even after 2 surgeries (3rd one coming up).

  • I also have this disorder. Lots of people don´t know it, en they can´t see it. Sometimes I hate that, because they laugh about my cafe/au/lait spots. They call me cow or whatever. That´s what i hate about it. but i´m also a lucky person!!

    XoXO

  • i have this disorder im lucky enough not to have it bad just cant move by left part of my body as well has my right

  • WOW looking at some of these kids you would,nt even know they have this disorder.

  • Yo también tengo esa maldita enfermedad, y me siento la más fea del mundo, a veces me da muho coraje verme al espejo y no poder lucir mi cuerpo, siempre lo tengo que estar escondiendo porque me da mucha pena que me vean los pequeños tumores que salen de mi cuerpo. Todavía si hubiera un tratamiento me haría sentir mejor, o conocer a alguien más que tenga esta enfermedad ya que me siento muy sola en esto, me siento como un monstruo.

  • Podemos ser amigos??? yo también tengo ésta enfermedad y me siento mal, pero sé que tú debes de valer mucho, sería bueno tener amigas como tú

  • Hola, disculpa que apenas te conteste. No recordaba el no. de mi cuenta. La verdad me encantaría ser tu amiga, y poder platicar de lo que sea. Cuenta conmigo.

  • I have NF, right now its not that bad, but i know it is only going to get worse. I cant even look at my self with out thinking about it.

  • @batterbee2000 I'm black and I have NF1. I was diagnosed when I was 3. I wish this camp existed when I was a kid, because there were things that I went through growing up that I could never talk to my family about. No one else has it but me and I always felt like they'd never understand what I go through every single day.

  • @jetsfan4life I'm glad that there are camps now. I hope i can go to one soon. I just had a surgery about a month ago to get a very large internal lump removed, I think i have NF2.

  • @batterbee2000 I hope you find out which type you have. I hope you get to go to camp too. It seems like it would be nice for young people to be surrounded by others that are just like them.

  • @jetsfan4life That would be great. I hope i can go to one sometime.

  • there are no case of nf were i live to and i never heard of a black person with nf

  • Comment removed

  • Iv had it easy i guess get a MRI ever 5 years and see a nerologest one a year, but it been bout 3 years since iv seen him, i got a few bumps but I hopefully will get some of them removed this year

  • i have nf since my birth an had a brain tumor last year its a very hard thing to go through

  • i have nf1 i am 15 and i can barley walk

  • Im a 25 year old male & was diagnosed with NF Type 1 when I was about 13 (As if teen years arent akward enough try having a lump on your fvcking eyelid!), When I explain to people that I have NF they normally respond "What? The National Front?!" lololol....damn, Now I've gone & depressed myself, I wish they'd have this sort of get together in the UK for ADULTS-Anyone know any community forums for sufferers of NF?

  • i just found out i have NF and am 24 years old i had a lot of spots and i thought it was just freckles and only one bump on my chest i was told it was breast tissues lol but so far this year of 08 in january i was getting really sick with head aches, vision and hearing problem i was so depressed i did know what was wrong with me until later on in march april of 2008 but i am trying my best to be strong but its hard sometimes i have goals and dreams that i might not be able to fulfill.

  • I am mad, this camp isn;t in canida

  • I am mad to this camp isn't in New zealand.

  • These camps take a lot of organizing... like you wouldn't believe! A friend and I tried to help start one in Canada a few years back, but we couldn't find an adult at NF Canada that had the time to help us and do a lot of the grunt work. It isn't just about finding a camp ground. Take into account that there are many people with NF that have severe physical disabilities - the camp ground has to specialize in that. The camp in the states goes to Camp K (where all the camp leaders know how to)

  • any one know if Australia has any thing for nf?

  • Yeah im from Australia and have NF type 1

  • oh i mean like do they have camps and such. i have nf 1 too. had a major op last year that saved my life because of it. Really gave me a greater appreciation for life!

  • I wish I found something like this when i was younger.. I have NF1, all my life. my dad has it. and my sister has it. but Ive never met anyone else with it. I didnt know so many people had it.

  • It is quite something to realize that you have one of the most common genetic disorders out there, but we get very little attention in the media. It actually surprises me that there aren't can celebrities living with NF or advocating for their child who has NF (maybe they are but are doing it in secret). I do know that Gillian Anderson's brother has it and she has donated lots to NF in the past.

  • I am from the uk.. and would have loved to go on a camp like that as a kid... can any1 please tell me if there is a simular thing in the uk... not for kids.. but older people?

  • I know that a lot of NF chapters in the States offer family camp, which families and adults living with NF are welcome to attended. I've never been to one of those ones, but I've heard great things about it. I would suggest searching out the NF chapter closest to you and asking them for info.

  • i have nf but everyone is gonna die one day, that is the one certanty in life oh an taxes lol, wish we had stuff like that in th uk i only know my dad an sis wid nf an it is so limited, it is hard to think i will ever find love cos i couldnt look at someone twice who had a body like me, an i know that is major shallow but so is the rest of the world

  • i totally understand what you mean i never think ill ever find love either i have had people leave my life because of it or i think so now i tell them before hand and not to fall in love with me lol because if they cant see pass it they dont love you

    but lets keep our faith strong

  • I miss that camp to that camp was the shit I miss all my friends that i made there....

  • Frick...you guys make me miss camp :(

  • i have nf too, i wish i could meet up r talk wth some else with the condition

  • i have nf

  • I think I am the only kid in Kansas with NF.

  • Im probly the only kid in canada with NF

  • did u know that there are more nf cases that ... i cant remember correctly but i am pretty sure its cystic fibrosis

  • canada has ca. 33 mio habitants --> ca 9 000 people who have NF

    Do something! Whats the internet there for??

    use it to give a message to other people in your country with NF! Man! never give up!

    impossible is nothing

  • no your not....there are a lot of NF chapters in Canada that support Canadians with NF...plus there is NF Canada as well. I know quite a few people with NF and they are Canadian too

  • Ditto

  • Congratulation your clip is very well. In France unhappily we do not have NF camp! I hope sooner or later children with NF will spend marvellous holidays in such camp. Maybe you know me I'm written a poem "The Naughty Little Toad" You can read it on internet. Kind regards Francis

  • When I was at camp there was a boy from I for get where but not the US or Canada so maybe you could come

  • When was this on? Brings back so many memories- what a great summer!

  • When was this video done? Its great- brings back memories. The year I went was a great year

  • I want to say 2005 or so because I went that year and I think that was the year before my freshman year of high school. I got a copy of it, don't know where it went though. It is so much fun, I miss my friends.

  • I love that. Really GREAT GREAT GREAT!
