Bid on my Doodles for a very good cause :)
Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that affects one in every 2,500 births. Worldwide, 115 babies are born with this genetic disorder each day. NF is more common than Cystic Fibrosis, Muscular Dystrophy, and Huntington’s Disease combined. 
Imagine an unpredictable disease that causes tumors to form on the nerves of your body. Depending on their location, these tumors can cause disfigurement, dysfunction, deafness or blindness. In the wrong place they can be fatal. If that weren’t enough, NF can also cause learning disabilities, seizures, bone deformity and cancer.
Despite the many researchers studying this devastating condition, there is still no cure, and treatments are largely inadequate.
My late cousin, Kathleen had NF. She was a lovely soul, I will always remember her kindness, and I will do anything I can to help others affected with this horrible disease.
As part of NF Awareness month, I did two Owly doodles that will be auctioned on eBay from May 7th to 17th. Here are the links: Auction 2, and Auction 1! 100% of the funds raised will benefit NF, Inc., an organization dedicated to providing support to individuals and families affected by neurofibromatosis by providing education, advocacy, coalitions, research for treatments, and a cure. If you’ve ever wanted an Owly sketch from me but weren’t able to find me at a show, now’s your chance! So, bid away and help a very good cause! Thanks! :)
If you already have an Owly doodle, you can bid on others by such awesome people as my good friend, José Villarubia (Promethea, Mirror of Love), Chef Duff (Ace of Cakes), Colleen Doran (Sandman), the late, great, Dom DeLuise (Captain Chaos!), Mickey Dolenz (from The Monkees), Rue McClanahan (Rose!), Kevin Nealon (SNL), and many, many, more!
