The event is a fundraising 5K walk organized by the NF Network on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at East Parkway Pavilion in Overton Park, Memphis, TN. The event page describes both an in-person gathering and virtual participation options. Fundraising features, including pledge pages and team pages, are included to collect donations and track fundraising efforts.
A free educational meeting about neurofibromatosis is scheduled the day before the walk. The NF Network mission is to promote scientific research, improve clinical care, provide outreach through education and awareness, and offer support to those affected by neurofibromatosis.
Information on neurofibromatosis provided with the event notes that it is a genetic disorder of the nervous system that causes tumors on nerves, affects all races and sexes, and occurs in about one in every 2,500 to 3,000 births in the United States. The material also states that roughly 120,000 Americans are affected and that NF is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern in many cases, while other cases result from spontaneous mutation.
