Note this fundraiser is one of three. Please visit my profile if you’d like to learn more about the other two. I am planning to climb Mont Ventoux in France 3 times in one day - one climb for each of the three charities that supported me in my cancer journey.

About Neuroendocrine Cancer UK

A diagnosis of cancer is one of the greatest challenges anyone can face. I know this firsthand.

Being diagnosed with a rare or uncommon cancer can have additional consequences, not least in terms of awareness, early diagnosis and access to expertise. Feelings of isolation, fear, uncertainty and anxiety are not uncommon.

Neuroendocrine Cancer UK exists to address the unmet needs voiced by the Neuroendocrine Cancer community, and to support patients and their loved ones with the physical and psychological burden of Neuroendocrine cancers. This charity supported me during the most devastating period of my life. The psychological and physical effects are still very prominent in my life.

As an evidence-based advocacy group, they collect real-life data from the community to drive change in commissioning for Neuroendocrine Cancer treatments and clinical practice. Their advocacy role is focused on impacting a community unaware of the needs of Neuroendocrine Cancer patients.

By sharing knowledge and patient experience, they can collaboratively create positive change. They want to enhance awareness and self-confidence within the patient community so they can make informed choices and ask questions. Rare cancer diagnosis can mean it is hard to find people to help do this.

This charity supported me when my mind struggled to make sense of a cancer diagnosis that took 6 years, an enormous surgery and 18 months to recover from. Please support them by making a donation.
