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 visiting my fundraising page.

This April, I will be part of a team of 12 who are aiming to trek to Everest Base Camp and then tackle 'Island Peak' - a mountain summit which reaches a height of 6100m (21,000 feet), with the whole trip lasting around 3 weeks.

More information on the trip can be found here:

The charity I am raising money for is the NET Patient Foundation which is related to the little known Carcinoid Cancer. This cancer is known as the silent cancer as it is often not till late in the disease that the cancer shows itself. One of the team lost their wife to this cancer 6 years ago and so our fundraising efforts our focused on supporting this worthwhile cause.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: NET Patient Foundation inc Living with Carcinoid gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
