Change your life!

Research Takes Cents

Suggestion: change your life through giving up a movie or a coffee or lunch...ONCE a year!

Scientists believe that between 50,000-100,000 carcinoid patients exist. Let's take the smaller number. If each patient saved $10 and contributed it to scientific research, the result would be $500,000 in available scientific funding

Change your life through one simple step!
I think it's worth it...do you?

Also think about the following information from Research!America, of which the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation is proud to be a member:

Americans spent $13.5 billion on home video and computer games in 2006.

That would fund the Centers for Disease Control for one and a half years!

That would fund many other worthy causes as well...including all the terrific scientists who research carcinoid and related NETs at prestigious institutions such as Stanford, UCSF, University of Wisconsin, University of Pennsylvania, University of Texas, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, UCLA and many many more.
