Dear Friends,
What a year! Like most other non- profits, NFMA/NFTF had to put most of our plans on hold.
Of course, we are still answering questions and giving out information. We still try and answer
Inquiries within 24 hours. We were able to donate toward Camp New Friends, part of the Brainy
Camps of Children’s Hospital. Washington, D.C. All Brainy Camps, including Camp New Friends were
virtual this year. Nothing has been decided yet about next year.
Some of our members were able to proofread a new book for young adults about a teenage girl
with NF. Another member is scheduled to take part in the NIH adult trials for the new treatment. We
also have members available for mentoring.
All is understandable, donations to NF Mid-Atlantic/NF Tumor Foundation have slowed. But little bit
does help. We appreciate all that, financial and otherwise.
Next year, we hope to get back to normal.
Thank You,
John D. Dobson
Executive Director
