Flicker of Hope

The Flicker of Hope Foundation was founded in 2018 to raise much needed funds for research into Neurofibromatosis (NF). NF is a genetic disorder that affects around 1 in every 2500 people, with approximately 10,000 Australians impacted. NF causes tumours to grow along the nerves of the body, including the brain and spinal cord. Those diagnosed with NF have an increased risk of cancer, and may also experience other life long issues including learning difficulties, epilepsy, skeletal problems, eye sight and hearing loss, chronic pain and disfigurement. There is no cure and very limited treatment options. Flicker of Hope’s mission is to fund research to find meaningful and effective treatments, with a vision to hopefully one day find a cure. 100% of donations to Flicker of Hope are directed to NF research. The research we fund brings hope to all people living with NF. To show your support and help us to continue to shine a light on NF, please like, share and subscribe to our channel.
