May is NF Awareness-Month all over the world. Better support and sustainable research for NF can only be achieved if there is more awareness about the condition. The Shine a Light Campaign helps to raise awareness and educate the public on all three types of NF.
To mark this event, the Shine a Light on NF campaign lights up major landmarks around the world in blue and green – representing the colours of NF. All over the world more than 300 buildings were lit on May 17th, 2019 to raise awareness and to give hope to everyone affected by the condition.
