The National Doodle Day auctions are winding down and my doodle for Gillian Anderson’s cause fighting neurofibromatosis ended up selling for $266.50! That is very cool and thanks to any readers that bid on the sketch. I’ve donated or done original art for auctions before where the art gets sold for next to nothing and that is always depressing. This time it got the charity at least a little bit of coin.

National Doodle Day is an annual event where dozens of doodles are auctioned off to raise funds to benefit NF, Inc., an organization dedicated to providing support to individuals and families affected by neurofibromatosis (NF).

Neurofibromatosis is a genetic disorder that affects one in every 2,500 births. NF is more common than Cystic Fibrosis, Muscular Dystrophy and Huntington’s Disease combined. Funds raised from the Doodle Day auction will go to support education, advocacy, coalitions, and research for treatments and a cure.
