The Connect Realty Family is Supporting the Children's Tumor Foundation with a Special Fiesta Night Benefit on Friday October 21st

Sacramento, CA, October 21, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Neurofibromatosis (NF), is a debilitating progressive disorder that can cause tumors to grow anywhere in the body. NF affects 1 in 3,000 births – more than Cystic Fibrosis, Duchene Muscular Dystrophy and Huntington’s Disease combined.

The Connect Realty Family is especially touched by this disease. Their long time Connect Realty agent Andrew Lowell’s daughter Ava, was diagnosed at the young age of 6 months with NF1. NF1 is causes a change in DNA structure, which only happens in about 1 out of 3,500 births.

“Ava is now 3 years old and continues to thrive despite her tumor. She is truly a miracle. My hope is that a cure is found before Ava may have to deal with the many challenges NF can bring on at any time,” says Dawn Lowell.

Connect Realty is asking you to help make the challenge of living with NF a little bit easier by supporting the Children's Tumor Foundation.

The Connect Realty Family of Agents is hosting a Fiesta Night fundraiser for The Children’s Tumor Foundation on Friday October 21st, 2011 starting at 6:30 PM. For only a $25 per person donation you will enjoy a Cocktail Hour, Great Mexican Fiesta Dinner, Live Auction and Raffle. The event will be held at the Connect Realty Office located at 1693 Eureka Rd. Suite 100, Roseville, CA 95661 or contact 916-316-2817 for advance tickets.

Please help Ava and others like her and find a cure for NF. The Children’s Tumor Foundation is a 503c nonprofit organization and your donation is tax deductible.
