We just made our annual donation, an amazing $60,000, to the University of Pennsylvania Abramson Cancer Center. Our cumulative total is now at $285,000. All donations go directly to advancing neuroendocrine tumor research at Penn that could lead to new treatments and ultimately a cure for Neuroendocrine Cancer.
Thank you for your incredible generosity and for everyone's support and participation in our 2018 event at the Philadelphia Zoo on Nov. 10th!
We had 983 registered participants and almost 800 joined us as well as over 100 who ran virtually across the country.

Run For The Stripes 2018 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.
