March4NETs Rach & Mel

We are marching towards a brighter future for people living with neuroendocrine cancer!

This March we are walking to raise funds for NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia (NECA) and all Australians living with neuroendocrine cancer, Australia’s 7th most diagnosed cancer.

Mel: I am taking part in March4Nets to support Rach and to help strengthen the work of NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia. NECA provides NET Nurses, counselling, and dietitian services that assist patients and families during treatment. I want to help raise funds so NECA can maintain these services and expand the tools they use to support people with NETs. I am committed to backing Rach and the wider NET community.

Rach: I am taking part in March4Nets as someone who has NeuroEndocrine Cancer in the pancreas to support education and show that some patients with NETs can keep working and manage day‑to‑day commitments while receiving treatment, although this is not the case for everyone and not all of the time. Ask questions, of me, of family of health professionals, don’t be shy. I am fortunate to have support from my wife Mel, my family and friends and NeuroEndocrine Cancer Australia services, including NET Nurses, counselling, and dietitian support. These services help with treatment navigation and symptom management. Education and fundraising help build awareness and strengthen support for people living with NETs

NECA is the only Australian not-for-profit medical charity dedicated to neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Their commitment to assisting patients, raising awareness, advocating for new treatments, and supporting Australian research is crucial.

This March we are joining forces with other Australians to support the 31,000+ people living with NETs in our country.

Together, we can make a real impact on the lives of NET patients and work towards a brighter future.
