Hey all Connor here! I am not going to post about me this time. A friend of the NF Community
Rachel Mindrup has done us a favor by not only drawing/painting portraits of those with NF (mine is pictured below with my original photo too), but she has also shared our blog on her page. She is a really amazing person. She does this to raise awareness and money. If you want a photo done her one request is that you donate to a local NF charity. She asks for nothing in return. Thats what makes her so awesome. If anyone with NF wants to have their photo done look her up on Facebook-
Many Faces of NF. The wait is a long one but in the end its so worth it. Its such a unique way to help gain awareness. I highly suggest you go check her out. She's done portraits of people all around the world, with varying degrees and symptoms, and people of all ages. The best part about Rachel is that she started with one photo and it grew from there. I hope you guys check her out and check out her amazing work! I promise you, you wont be disappointed. Next week Ill go back to talking about myself, and
Landmark College (where I will be attending for the next 2 years). Its a college specifically tailored to those with learning disabilities. But more on that later. Enjoy the rest of the week and our other blog posts.
**If anyone is wondering this photo was taken in 2012 when I was 16 (I am now 18). I was in Iceland over Boxing Day '11-January 2nd '12. If you have any questions about Iceland (despite being off topic) Ill gladly answer them.

NOTE: I had to crop the photo to make them fit better side (I also had to make the original smaller) by side so the Icelandic writing is no longer visible (hence why I mentioned Iceland above).
