UPDATED CAMPAIGN (2025): Hi, I’m Georgia Baum, and I’m fundraising to raise vital awareness and support for people living with Neurofibromatosis (NF), a lifelong condition that, like mine, is often invisible but deeply impactful. As someone personally affected by NF, I’ve seen first-hand the physical, emotional, and social challenges it can bring. That’s why I’m deeply committed to advocating for a more inclusive, compassionate, and better-informed society, where people with NF are recognised, respected, and supported.

NF is a complex genetic disorder that causes tumours to form on nerves throughout the body. While these tumours are often non-cancerous, they can lead to a wide range of serious complications that affect both physical and emotional well-being. While NF primarily impacts the nervous system and skin, its effects can extend far beyond. It may cause difficulties with learning and concentration, hearing and balance issues, vision impairment, mobility and muscle coordination; it can contribute to chronic pain, long-term issues with mental health, and may even shorten life expectancy.

It looks different for each individual. It’s unpredictable. It’s lifelong, and yet, it’s still widely misunderstood, and people often face judgment, bullying, and lack of support, simply because of this. This campaign aims to change that.

100% of donations will go directly to Nerve Tumours UK (NTUK); a charity that supports individuals and families affected by all forms of NF and whom I’m proud to be an ambassador for, and I aim to create as many fun and educational fundraising opportunities as possible.

My campaign is about turning awareness into action.

With YOUR help, we can:

- Support families living with NF through counselling, guidance, and helplines

- Fund essential medical research for better treatments and, hopefully, one day, a cure

- Raise awareness of NF in schools, hospitals, workplaces, and beyond

- Challenge stigma, fear, and isolation

- Provide support groups, helplines, and vital resources for families

This campaign isn’t just about raising money, it’s about making sure people feel seen, understood, and supported. Whether you donate, share this page, or simply take a moment to learn about NF, you are making a real difference. You could be the reason someone feels seen today.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with me.

With love,

Georgia Baum 💙
