Change of Date! Celebrate and Love Your Carcinoid-NET Patient, But on March 28 and 29!

The Caring for Carcinoid Foundation's L.A. Event will be March 28 and 29, 2009.

We are still learning, dancing, and running--all in Los Angeles! Just on different days!

I am very happy to bring together the carcinoid/NET community--we need to meet each other, celebrate together, learn from each other and support each other. I think that this weekend will do that. Even better--ALL PROCEEDS from this weekend will go to the whole genome project that CFCF is kicking off for carcinoid cancer. Financial transparency at its best.

March 28th Fun Run in Los Angeles--Half-Marathon/10K/5K/Fun run for kids!
Because the L.A. Marathon has changed its date three times, the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation decided to celebrate instead with the Great Race of Agoura Hills! These races are hugely popular--voted LA's Best Race 5 straight years and the 10K was voted one of the six top 10Ks by Runner's World! On March 28th, join the CFCF Team to run or walk a half-marathon, a 10K, a 5K or a fun-run for kids!

To join us, sign up at Agoura Hills and then e-mail us at info@caringforcarcinoid.org. To sign up for Agoura Hills, please cut and paste the link below into your browser:

I am thrilled that this race is more inclusive of those of us who can only walk a mile or two or who want to bring our kids/nieces/nephews out to enjoy a fun, sunny day.

CFCF will have a great post-race party at the Agoura Hills event.

A Magical Evening
March 28th's evening will be so special! We will celebrate patients and their caregivers at the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation L.A. Gala Event--Dancing Under The Stars with The Stars.

Join us to be celebrated and dance for the joy of surviving!

Also bid by internet or in person at the silent auction--look for some tasty bargains in these tough economic times.

March 29th--Patient Education!!
Please join pain specialists, nutritionists, pancreatic endocrine specialists, carcinoid cancer specialists, and cutting-edge surgeons (no pun intended!) for a fun interactive day.
Have your questions answered! Before the 29th, we patients and caregivers may send in questions to be answered by the speakers.

Each speaker will have 20 minutes to speak and then I will moderate an interactive, hands-on, question-and-answer session.

No one will talk at you for hours and hours--my experience tells me that I fall asleep quickly after an hour or two! So, instead, I want to focus on what patients want and what questions patients want answered. So, we will have active, live, interactive discussion. You will leave having been heard.

Drop me an e-mail and let me know what you'd like answered. On March 29th, doctors will answer your questions in the order they are received. E-mail now even if you are unsure that you will attend--because we are already holding 20 spots for folks.

JOIN US FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE WEEKEND!!
