Representatives Who Signed On
Thank you to everyone who worked so quickly and diligently at getting members of the House of Representatives to sign onto “dear colleague” letters supporting $15 million for the Army’s NF Research Program and for NF specific report language to be included in the Fiscal Year 2014 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education Appropriations bill.
We CAN keep this going and give hope of a brighter future to people with NF. Be sure to thank those who signed and don’t give up on those who haven’t. Not signing does not mean that they don’t support neurofibromatosis research. See copies of the DOD letter and LHHS letter.
Also, right now there is a similar letter circulating the Senate and we need that same drive and perseverance to encourage our senators to sign on. You can write your senators here.
