If you attend any of the local events in town, odds are you will see Suffield native Amy Reay there along with her service dog, Delancy. What you may not know about Amy, based on her boundless energy and positive attitude, is that she has a condition called Neurofibromatosis or NF. NF is a rare genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow in nerves throughout the body and affects 1 in every 3,000 children born. Reay has the less common NF2 type. Delancy lovingly supports her because NF2 took her hearing when she was thirty-two.
