Announcing Lori & Dave Canzanese as the new co-directors for the 2018 Run for the Stripes. For the last 6 years, Jan and Andy have co-directed Run for the Stripes, demonstrating our passion to build a supportive NET community and raise funds to find a cure for NET cancer. While I will continue to support the race, I have decided to seek out others with the same passion for fighting this disease to serve as Co-directors this year. Lori Canzanese is a NET cancer patient and she and her husband Dave have the same passion and drive to raise awareness for NET cancer and fund research for a cure. Lori was diagnosed with NET cancer in November 2015. Their team “Running for a Reason” has shown up strong at the race in 2016 and 2017 with over 60 participants each year - what a support system! Lori and Dave have agreed to serve as co-directors for the race this year, and I am working with them to ensure a smooth transition. If you have been assisting us already, I want to take this opportunity to thank you and encourage you to continue to do so. If you are new and would like to offer your assistance in the planning for the race, or just see where you can help, please email Lori and Dave at run4thestripes@gmail.com --- Andy
We just made our annual donation, an amazing $91,000, to the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center, designated for NET research. Slightly more than double our 2016 donation. Thank you for your incredible generosity.
Thank you for everyone's support and participation in our 2017 event at the Philadelphia Zoo on Nov. 11!
We had 740 registered participants and almost 600 joined us despite the frigid temperatures.

Run For The Stripes 2017 Annual Report (Download)
Race for NET (neuroendocrine tumor) focus is to raise awareness for neuroendocrine cancers, a rare and hard to diagnose cancer, and to raise money to donate to research for this rare cancer. This year will be the sixth year for the Run For The Stripes 5K run/walk. We had so much fun last year and since it was such a success we had to come back and do it again. It is a great way to be involved with the NET community and the proceeds from the run go to research designated specifically for NET research.
neuroendocrine tumor (NOOR-oh-EN-doh-krin TOO-mer)
A tumor that forms from cells that release hormones in response to a signal from the nervous system. Some examples of neuroendocrine tumors are carcinoid tumors, islet cell tumors, medullary thyroid carcinomas, pheochromocytomas, and neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin (Merkel cell cancer). These tumors may secrete higher-than-normal amounts of hormones, which can cause many different symptoms.
