The Great North Help Out

Lily-Rose Lenton's fundraising page

08 September 2024

Run

I am taking part in the Great North Run to help raise money for the charity that has helped my family out all of my sisters life The reason I’m taking part in the Great North Run is partially a letter of love to my sister, who has had to cope with the daily challenges that NF1 brings her way, and to the charity that has supported us as a family throughout the years. For those who don’t know, NF is the group name for Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1), NF2-related-Schwannomatosis (NF2) and Schwannomatosis (SWN). All of the conditions cause nerve tumours, and all involve health complications. These tumours are usually non-cancerous (benign). They can be internal, or external, they can be big or small. Sometimes they cause no harm, other times they can provoke complications. NF is indiscriminate; it affects all races, age and genders equally. In my sister’s case, she has Café-Au-Lait patches, freckling, neurofibromas & an optic glioma. In 2012 she had surgery to remove a benign brain tumour. Then to throw on top of all of this, she has some learning difficulties which includes processing information. Nerve Tumours UK, as a charity, has been an amazing asset and support network for my family going up. We got provided the contact of a local specialist advisor, who would help my sister’s schools understand what support she may need, and be there to answer any questions or concerns. They also arranged days where we could meet with other families and spend time together as people with the condition and people who had siblings with the condition and not worry about day to day struggles and be kids. (Oh and I suppose it gave the parents a break too... 😉 ) Even though I won’t be running but walking, I'm aiming to beat my pb from 2018 of 4hrs 44mins

INFER (International NF Educational Resources) is a series of online educational lectures for medical professionals by leading neurofibromatosis experts. The Masterclasses take place online approximately once a month, each on a different topic, and include real-time interaction between the expert presenter and the participants. The presentations are conducted in English, with real-time audio interpretation available in 6 additional languages: French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. A recording of each INFER masterclass is then be made available online in each language for those who could not attend an event. INFER is an initiative of Children’s Tumor Foundation Europe, supported by an educational grant from AstraZeneca. https://ctfeurope.org/research/masterclasses-in-nf
