Dear Friends

I am writing to let you know that after 10 years I will be leaving CaF at the end of February. You will however be pleased to hear that I will be staying within the field of rare disorders, as my new post will be The Neurofibromatosis Association. This is a very good career move for me and I am very much looking forward to some new challenges and the fact that the new office is within walking distance of home makes it even more attractive!

Over the years I have had the privilege of working very closely with many of you and have seen your groups grow and develop, often with a lot of time and hard work. In return many of you have been willing to help me, mainly in my quest for families for the media and I would like to say a huge thank you. Many of you have also become more like friends and I have always been pleased to hear from you how things are going.

Anna King who some of you will already have had contact with, will be taking over the UK group work and so I am leaving things in very safe hands. She can be contacted on her direct line 020 7608 8715 or by e-mail anna@cafamily.org.uk

With very best wishes

Linda
