Private Project

A Rare Friendship

Jessica, Laurel, Karen and Victoria all have one thing in common. They all suffer from a rare genetic disorder knoown as Neurofibromatosis Type 2. From the outside they all look and act like typical young, healthy girls. But inside they have tumours growing on their nervous system. These girls bonded online over their shared experience of living with NF2 and then travelled across the world to meet in person for the first time.
