My name is Craig Speirs and I've been living with Neuroendocrine Cancer for nearly 10 yrs now. In that time I've had many treatments, surgery and supported by this wonderful charity Neuroendocrine Cancer UK. I became and ambassador for this charity as wanted to support other patients, create awareness and raise much needed funds for research into this rare cancer.

Neuroendocrine cancer is a rare cancer that affects 7 people per 100,000 of the population. This cancer is often misdiagnosed for years before patients get the correct diagnosis, at this point it has often spread meaning patients will now live with this condition with no cure. The rate of Neuroendocrine cancer has grown from a level of 4 per 100,000 to its current level, yet the medical and general community still has very little understanding of this disease.

This is where Neuroendocrine Cancer UK comes in. They advocate for patients at levels within government and NHS looking to push for change and make the treatment pathway less of a post code lottery. They provide a safe space for patients to learn about their condition and counselling services with nurses who worked in Neuroendocrine cancer services. They also provide nationwide face/face support group meetings so that patients can share their experiences and learn to live with this cancer.

Please help us reach our target and help change lives for patients living with this cancer.
