On a brisk September morning recently a dedicated group of walkers arrived at Cloves Hill Park in Staten Island to raise funds to find a cure for neurofibromatosis, a disease marked by the uncontrolled growth of tumors. The Children’s Tumor Foundation sponsored the event, and it attracted participants of all ages, including several larger than life characters like Sponge Bob, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, and Elmo. The response to my request for donations several months ago was extremely gratifying, and I want to thank all my friends who so generously responded. I know through my daughter Natalie just how devastating NF can be, and the help you provided will go directly to funding much needed research.
