Jr. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Luke Burke
Chair
CureNFwithJack has been a big part of my life since I was 4 years old.

This is my passion and will continue to be my passion for as long as NF does not have a cure. As Chair of the CureNFwithJack Junior Board, I will look to oversee all the work we do and continue to spread awareness in our community. I am very excited to lead this board and cannot wait to see what we can do to grow the fight against NF.
