Hi,
I am Mike Ashley, I was interviewed for the Undies Run for NF2. I was totally disappointed that you cut my interview to almost nothing. Many people have asked me “why so short?” I do not have an answer for them except for the rudeness of whoever edited my interview out. You left Ken’s part on NF1 in good shape but basically ignored us with NF2. Please explain this to me so I can answer the people who have asked why.
Thank You,
Mike Ashley

Thank you, Hannah Simon, Brett Nweeia and the UNF Spinnaker, for covering our Cupid’s Undie Run and for bringing awareness of Neurofibromatosis (NF) to the Osprey Community! Next year, we hope UNF alums and students can join us as we party-run-party to #EndNF!
