Children’s Tumor Foundation Rings The Opening Bell® [Video]

On Thursday, May 9th, the New York Stock Exchange welcomed the Children’s Tumor Foundation to the podium to celebrate NF Awareness Month. To honor the occasion, Leanna Scaglione, Advocate, Children’s Tumor Foundation, rang The Opening Bell®.

The Children’s Tumor Foundation is the world’s leading organization dedicated to funding and driving innovative research that will result in effective treatments for the millions of people worldwide living with NF, a group of genetic conditions that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. As a trusted partner to pharmaceutical, biotech, and other industry partners, we collaborate closely to accelerate research and development efforts, ensuring that promising treatments reach those who need them. One in every 2,000 people is born with some type of neurofibromatosis or schwannomatosis, which may lead to blindness, deafness, bone abnormalities, disfigurement, learning disabilities, disabling pain, or cancer. NF affects all populations equally, and while there is no cure yet, the Children’s Tumor Foundation’s mission of driving research, expanding knowledge, and advancing care for the NF community fosters our vision of one day ending NF.
