Raise money for Tumour Foundation of BC
The Tumour Foundation of BC is dedicated to optimizing the health and well-being of individuals impacted by neurofibromatosis (NF) through support, education and advocacy for improved care.
NF is a genetic condition which causes tumours to grow on nerves throughout the body. These tumours are often inoperable and can cause complications such as disfigurement, bone deformities, vision impairment, learning disabilities, cancer and serious mental health conditions. There is no cure.
Please get involved by joining our team to run or walk this June or make a donation.
We are grateful for your support.
What is NF and Why Does Your Support Matter?
Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a group of genetic conditions that cause tumours to grow on nerves throughout the body. These tumours can appear anywhere and affect people in many different ways—from blindness, deafness, and chronic pain to learning challenges, disfigurement, and even cancer. Anyone can be born with NF. It affects people of all races, genders, and ethnicities.
How Common is NF?
NF is one of the most common genetic neurological conditions, affecting about 1 in every 2,000 births—that’s around 4 million people worldwide.
Who We Are: Tumour Foundation of BC
Since 1984, the Tumour Foundation of BC has been the leading voice for the NF community in Canada. We are a small but passionate charity making a big impact through:
- Advocacy for better care and treatment
- Awareness and education for the public and healthcare providers
- Peer support groups and 1:1 outreach
- An annual NF symposium and trusted patient resources
- Youth scholarships
Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of individuals affected by NF. Your donation doesn’t just help us stay open—it helps an entire community feel seen, supported, and hopeful for a better future.
