Welcome to my journey with Neurofibromatosis type 2, known as NF2, a genetic mutation which causes numerous tumors to grow within my brain and spine. Since 2004, I have undergone radiosurgery and 3 brain surgeries for 7 brain tumors. Life with NF2 is definitely a test of faith and a challenge to keep positive. Join me on my harrowing adventure to keep active and live life to the fullest!

The board plank exercise
Wow! This exercise is great for the shoulders and is more of a workout than it looks! I really like this one a lot and was surprised to be able to do it on my own with my balance. After 20 I think I was breaking a sweat and out of breath!
By the way, in this photo I am sporting my green NF Inc. running jersey. In the previous posts, I am wearing the yellow CTF - Children's Tumor Foundation jersey. Both organizations are charities which raise research funding for NF - Neurofibromatosis.
In May I ran the Eugene, OR half marathon for NF Inc. This past weekend, my sister and I went to Portland to cheer on and support the NF endurance team through CTF in the Portland marathon.
