Story
The Australian Defence Force Clay Target Association (ADFCTA) will conduct the annual Combined Services Championships, comprising of twelve events over three disciplines being, Down the Line (DTL), Skeet and Five Stand Sporting Clays from Sunday, 11 September – Sunday, 18 September 2022 at the Wagga Gun Club.
During these championships, the ADFCTA will be running a Charity shoot named the "Shit Shirt Shoot". Shooters are encouraged to donate funds to a selected charity, and in turn are allowed to dress in the ugliest shirt they can find. This year’s charity is Flicker of Hope.
Flicker of Hope was founded with the purpose of being a charity that would solely raise funds to be directed for research into Neurofibromatosis (NF) – to assist and support researchers in their quest to find new and positive treatments to improve the quality of life for NF sufferers.
Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder that most people have never heard of. There are three types of NF: NF1, NF2 and Schwannomatosis.
It is estimated that 1 in 2,500 people have NF1 – affecting approximately 10,000 Australians and 2,500,00 people worldwide. NF2 and Schwannomatosis are much rarer conditions. Estimates are that NF2 affects approximately one person per 33,000 people worldwide. Schwannomatosis is the least common and most recently identified form of neurofibromatosis, with estimates of occurrence ranging from one in 40,000 people to one in 1.7 million people.
Approximately 50% of NF sufferers inherit the disorder from their parents. Others show no family history of NF, meaning it has occurred spontaneously at the time of conception. Anyone suffering from Neurofibromatosis has a one-in-two chance of passing the condition onto their own children.
Neurofibromatosis causes tumours to grow on nerve endings throughout the body – so wherever there is a nerve, tumours can grow – mainly in the brain and spine. It can affect major organs and lead to a variety of serious and debilitating health issues including cafe au lait spots, blindness, bone abnormalities, disfigurement, chronic pain, amputation, cancer, epilepsy, learning difficulties and autism.
Knowledge of NF is incredibly limited – research is needed to learn more about the condition and explore effective treatment options.

Flicker of Hope Foundation Limited
The Flicker of Hope Foundation was inspired by Zoe – who was diagnosed with NF at four months of age.
Zoe loves to dream big … and she dreams of a bright future for all those affected by NF. In 2018 Zoe and her family established Flicker of Hope to raise much needed funds to support researchers in their quest to find positive treatments and improve the quality of life for those impacted by NF.
Thanks to the generous support of individuals, businesses, community and school groups Flicker of Hope has raised over $2.5 million in five years. 100% of this amount has been donated to fund essential research into NF.
Please join us on this journey – a journey that may be life changing for those impacted by NF.
