People sometimes ask me how they can help with research and the like. Next week, after I cross some t’s and dot some i’s, I am going to write about a number of ways people can get involved and make a difference. But yesterday afternoon I got a note from the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation about something that deserves an immediate mention. Below is what they wrote:
| 2011 was a year of unparalleled advances inneuroendocrine cancer research – marked by landmark publications, unprecedented breakthroughs, and the first FDA-approved therapies for patients in nearly 30 years. With momentum at an all-time high, now is the time to accelerate research progress. We can’t do it alone. We need your help.
Pioneering work funded by the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation has laid the groundwork for what we believe will be the next generation of therapies. But in spite of all we’ve accomplished, there is still much to be done. For all those touched by neuroendocrine cancers, we must do more, and we must do it quickly.
That is why we are launching Campaign ACCELERATE. With your support we have a unique opportunity to accelerate the pace of progress and build on recent discoveries by launching a comprehensive strategy to take neuroendocrine cancer research to the next level.
In this spirit, a generous supporter has issued a challenge – if we raise $125,000 in individual donations by the end of this year, he will donate $250,000! That means for every dollar donated, three dollars will go directly to funding critical research.
To ensure a bright future for patients with neuroendocrine cancers, I urge you to make a donation to the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation. If donor interest fades, so too will the promise that is finally within reach – the promise of cures for each and every patient.
With warm regards,
Lauren Erb
Executive Director
