Goal
Please help us raise money to end NF2 through gene therapy.
NF2 is a disease that allows tumours to grow on nerves. They can form anywhere, but tend to favour the central nervous system of the brain and spine. Nerve damage from tumour growth is debilitating for people with NF2 and causes degenerative weakness and total loss of many functions. A person with NF2 can have a limitless number of tumours to deal with along with degenerative hearing, vision, physical and mental challenges. Numerous operations, chemotherapies and other treatments compact the disease further.
NF2 BioSolutions is confident that gene therapy for the disease will be a cure and halt the progression.
This foundation created by mostly medical personnels and bioscience researchers that are themselves (or a family member) directly impacted by NF2. Therefore the motivation, purpose, passion and desire to succeed are paramount.
Other rare disease foundations have successfully funded and pushed for a gene replacement treatment of their rare diseases, and NF2 BioSolutions wants to follow that same model.
