You are not alone.”

The Neurofibromatosis Society of Nova Scotia has been launched as a way to connect Nova Scotians with the condition in hopes of providing the support that’s often found in meeting people who can relate. As anyone diagnosed with any of the three forms of NF know, it’s little heard of not only by the public, but also in the medical community. NFSNS has gained permission from the Children’s Tumor Foundation, one of the global leaders in NF research and support, to use any of their information on our website and pamphlets to ensure we are providing a reliable, sound source of information to patients and the community alike.
While our primary focus will be on providing a platform for support and accurate information, we will also fundraise in order to sponsor young adults aged 12-21 to attend a special NF camp held each summer in Salt Lake City where youth from all of the world come together to have fun, challenge themselves and soak up the support of being with NF peers, as well as to donate to research ongoing at The Friedman Lab at UBC.
We look very forward to meeting folks similarly motivated and in touching lives. To contact NFSNS, email info@nfsns.org.

Madeline inherited her NF from her mother, a shared condition that has brought them closer together, and closer to all who live with NF everyday.
After initially dealing with her NF in somewhat of a “vacuum”, Emily launched the NFSNS to raise awareness about the disease, and to create an online community to foster dialogue and support.
Coming soon!
