PLANETS ethos is based around two fundamental principles: Firstly, supporting our patients and their families by working together as a “whole team” with the doctors, nurses and other medical staff using the motivation of fundraising alongside our patients to help them fight cancer through the positive energy that this camaraderie creates. Secondly, we use the money that has been raised to provide the “icing on the cake“ by funding things that the NHS otherwise could not afford and stimulating innovation in cancer care through research and the introduction of new treatments. PLANETS is more than just another local cancer charity, it is a motivating and unifying force that is changing the way that we approach the fight against cancer across the central south coast of England. Our aim is not just to save lives but also to enrich them in the process by helping the “whole team” to focus together on our shared goals.

Story

NETS (Neuroendocrine Tumours) is a rare form of Cancer that on average takes 4.5 years to diagnose. Most patients have to revisit GPs / Hospitals 11 times before it’s discovered. This is partly because of a general lack of knowledge around its existence due to its rarity.

Unfortunately, my mum has been diagnosed with NETS after having to live in pain and discomfort for a significant amount of time before the cancer was diagnosed.

As well as raising awareness of this type of cancer, i will also be walking 62 miles through March to raise money and support the charity group ‘Planets’ who specialise in research for advanced cancer and provide support groups for those affected.

Cancer doesn’t just affect the diagnosed patient. It affects everyone in a vast amount of ways and i’d like your help with any donations you can spare towards this life changing cause.
