The Nelson Family

Mahwah, NJ – March 24, 2012

The Nelson Family: Kim, Mary (9) and Sophia (8), Livingin Mahwah, NJ. Mary was born with a neurological disorder called Neurofibromatosis (NF). NF is a genetic and progressive disorder that disrupts cell growth in the nervous system, causing tumors to form on nerve tissue. These tumors can occur anywhere in the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and large and small nerves. Mary has developed an optic glioma (tumor on her optic nerves) as a result of her NF. It has severly impacted her vision. She has been undergoing chemotherapy since Febuary of 2010 in attempt to shrink the tumor. She will never regain full sight back, even if the tumor shrinks.
