My sense of timing is lousy. It always seems I come up with an idea a day after it would have been really good to have it. Today is that kind of day.

I know many of you won’t read this until after the neighborhood barbecue. But I will post it here now anyway in the hope it will inspire some of you at the last moment.

Walking with Jane needs your help.

We want three million people to learn about neuroendocrine cancer and carcinoid syndrome in the next 12 months who did not know about it before.

Why three million? Because that is

the potential high-end number of how many people out there have NET and do not know it.

So today, if you know enough about NET to be comfortable talking about it, tell the people at your cookout or the fireworks display–or wherever you happen to be–about NET. Encourage them to visit walkingwithjane.org.

And if you are not comfortable with your knowledge of the disease, please encourage those folks to visit walkingwithjane.org.

One of our biggest problems with this disease is too few people know it exists.

Let’s try to change that–starting today.
