I am raising money for Nerve Tumours Uk because it spreads awareness of the condition, people will not look at me and say or think I have NF. They will not now about some of the troubles and symptoms I am experiencing. I remember my time at St John's Hospice on placement, when I spoke to a patient whose friend believed she was making her symptoms up because she looked "well".

I feel like being aware that people CAN be going through things despite looking "well". Fund raising for nerve tumours will allow me to spread awareness of the condition, and especially with bodybuilding, showing people my café au lait spots, my lumps is not something to be ashamed about but a badge of pride.

One of my closest friends even said my lumps made me look like "killmonger" from black panther which was the vibe I tried to give off when I was on stage. I first found out about verve tumours last year, when I was experiencing symptoms and reaching out for others affected by NF I did not formally reach out until I was referred to the specialist centre in Manchester.

I am now trying to actively get involved with the charity, and join the coffee morning. I am going to make an effort to post more about my story because I've had some people both with NF and without saying it's inspiring what I'm doing. It makes me want to make more of a difference in people's life.

Being a medic interested in oncology and MedTech I found it appropriate to get CureAge involved as they have the potential to cure those with NF. I spoke to Gonzalo, a co founder and he's very talented and dedicated to the cause so please donate to his page as-well.
