The 2021 Run for the Stripes was a great success because of all of you! We had 812 participants, including 270 virtual participants from 29 states, and 2 participants in Greece! We are pleased to share our RFTS NET community has come together to raise $65,000 this year to be donated to the NET Tumor program at the Hospital of University of Pennsylvania. This brings the Run for the Stripes 10 year donation total to $487,000.
We are leaving the RFTS Store open for the holidays, we have long sleeve t-shirts, hoodies, winter beanies, tumblers and cinch sacks available for purchase. If you order by December 11, we will get orders in the mail by December 15th. https://runsignup.com/Race/Store/PA/Philadelphia/RunForTheStripes5K

Run For The Stripes 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 eighth year for the Run For The Stripes 5K run and 1 Mile 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.
