Raising money for

Net Patient Foundation

Charity Registration No. 1092386

The NET Patient Foundation incorporating Living with Carcinoid has been working since 2006, with the following aims:

1. To provide accurate and up-to-date information for people living with, or affected by, neuroendcrine tumours. We do this through information and forums provided on this website (and links to other sources of information on the web).

2. To provide support for patients and others affected by neuroendocrine tumours. We offer a support line which is manned by an experienced healthcare professional; and organise patient support groups around the UK and Ireland.

3. To improve the quality of life for patients and their families. We can do this by providing support and information about treatments available, as well as by funding and publicising research and existing medical initiatives.

4. To raise funds, which will help to support research and diagnosis initiatives around the UK.

5. To raise awareness of neuroendocrine tumours throughout the UK and Ireland, and also within the medical community.

My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit Alistair & Drew's JustGiving page covering sponsorship for our challenge of riding along the length of Hadrian's wall over two days on mountain bikes - 10th & 11th October 2009.

Update: Well we achieved the challenge !! Two days, two bikes, one wall, 91 miles, one puntcure (before we left!), one broken chain, four aching limbs, many laughs....And we raised more than we thought we would, so thank you all for your generosity.

"Its not what happens in life that matters, but how we handle what is thrown at us. It is what we do with our lives that makes us the person we are not what has been forced upon us by life itself."

So many people are inspirational to others, and Andy was one of those that handled life with a joie-de-vivre that was an inspiration (and often exasperation!) to many. As my cousin (Alistair) I have many fond memories of Andy, childhood games and big family Christmases together, but most of all I always remember that Andy always played life to the full, almost as though part him inside always knew that his time was more limited than most of us. We shouldn't eulogise about people too much, suffice to say that people like Andy should be an inspiriation and reminder to all of us of the important things in our lives - family, friends, and good times.

This chartiy bike ride is a little bit of a challenge, a little bit of giving something back and will be a whole lot of fun - something we think Andy would approve of wholeheartedly.

Please sponsor us whatever you feel comfortable with - a little something for a worthwhile cause and a little something to encourage us to pedal harder !
