5th Annual Strides for Stripes Zebra walk for Carcinoid/NET Cancer

CCAN’s Zebra Walk helps raise money for programs that assist NET cancer patients & brings awareness of carcinoid /NET cancer. Ongoing programs like our NET Cancer Hotline and patient conferences.

Your participation helps make life better for thousands who suffer from this disease. Carcinoid /NET cancers are known to affect over 125,000 patients in the United States. Another 12,000 people are diagnosed annually. Initially, over 90% of all Carcinoid/ NET patients are incorrectly diagnosed and treated for the wrong disease. Average time from initial onset of symptoms to proper diagnosis exceeds five years.

Water, energy bars and a light lunch will be served. You will be entertained by Undercover 12 noon - 2 pm. Learn more about the band http://undercoverwebsite.com/about_us.html
