Georgia’s Blog

Hello! My name is Georgia Baum. I’m from Liverpool, I’m 25 years old, and I’m an Ambassador for Nerve Tumours UK. I first became actively involved with NTUK in 2021 after experiencing a major health scare, when I was told the year before that something had grown on my brain. I turned to the charity for support and guidance during a very uncertain time, and little did I know that this would grow into such a beautiful collaboration - one that has truly changed my life for the better.
A little bit about me outside NTUK; I love to read - especially a good thriller or mystery - and I’m always looking for new ways to be creative. My current goal is to learn how to crochet. I’m also a big football fan, particularly Liverpool (like our Director Karen, of course!), and I was lucky enough to have a season ticket for 12 years. I love to cook too and am very partial to a good fajita (who doesn’t love fajitas?!).
I decided to write this blog to help ensure that information is shared in an accurate, accessible, and light-hearted way. When living with a condition like NF or SWN - or supporting a loved one who is - it’s easy to become consumed by the negatives and the ‘what ifs’. My hope is that this blog can be a safe space that also highlights the positives: the progress being made in medical research and science, the active changes happening behind the scenes, and the small wins along the way. I’ll also be keeping you updated on NF/SWN news and sharing any adventures I might get up to along the way.
I hope this blog can be both informative and fun, while keeping you connected to everything happening within the NF/SWN community. Most of all, I hope you’ll enjoy learning alongside me as we continue to #ShineALight on NF.
