Hope you missed us because it’s ! We are so excited for Utah’s walk this weekend so, today we are highlighting NF Hero Dylan from Team Neerings. Dylan is 5 years old and was diagnosed with NF1 at the age of 2 with genetic testing. Dylan’s mom Stephanie is a nurse practitioner in pediatric oncology. She attended a conference and met a patient education manager who told her about Shine a Light Walk. She tells us, “I chose to participate in the walk to make the big step to engage with the NF1 community after taking many years to process the diagnosis of my son as a pediatric solid tumor nurse practitioner. I am the biggest advocate for my son and ready to start engaging more with the NF community” They look forward to their first year and connecting with the local NF1 community. Utah isn’t the only walk this weekend, Kansas City is ready to rock the walk too! There’s still time to register and fundraise at shinealightwalk.org 💙💚
