Welcome to the Holiday Shine a Light for NF page!
This past year has not been one like any other we have experienced.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us, but it has particularly been difficult for people affected by neurofibromatosis. Living with pain, without access to knowledgeable healthcare, and with an increase in isolation due to social distancing protocols, individuals with NF have faced an increase in challenges and fear about their health and future.
Through our one-to-one support calls, weekly community groups, online educational events and new medical care resources, the Tumour Foundation of BC has been a vital source of support for children and families living with this genetic tumour disorder. With a 38% increase in requests for support this year, our small team has made a difference to hundreds of families across the province. And we can't do our work without your financial support.
Help shine a light on the children and families affected by neurofibromatosis today by making a donation.
We shine brighter together!

The Tumour Foundation of BC has been supporting individuals and families affected by neurofibromatosis (NF) for over thirty years.
NF is a genetic disorder causing tumours to grow in the body, brain and on the skin. There is no cure. More than two million worldwide live with NF.
We are a vital source of support and information for families on the NF journey. Our focus is to optimize the health of individuals with NF by improving medical services in our province through the establishment of the the first coordinated care clinic.
