Elana is a 14-year-old being treated for Neurofibromatosis (NF) at St. Louis Children's Hospital. The disease can cause devastating effects, including bone malformations, tumors and cancer. While in the care of Dr. David Gutmann, Elana decided to reach out to other NF patients in the form of personalized care packages.
