Caring for Carcinoid Foundation

The mission of the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation (CFCF) is to discover a cure for carcinoid and related neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). Our vision is to eliminate the suffering of patients, families, and caregivers affected by carcinoid and related NETs. Nancy Lindholm O'Hagan founded CFCF to be the only carcinoid and NET focused foundation with the mission of discovering a cure, with a formal Board of Directors, a Board of Scientific Advisors and a structured Research Road Map to achieve its mission.

CFCF directs 100% of all individual donations to breakthrough scientific research. This is made possible by the generous support of CFCF's Board of Directors and corporate sponsors. Since its inception, CFCF has awarded over 4.5 million dollars in research grants to leading scientists at renowned institutions.

Join us for a Cure:

Join Team CFCF and participate in events nationwide that create unity among patients, physicians, friends and athletes, while raising awareness of carcinoid and related NETs and much needed funds for scientific research. Team CFCF is currently recruiting for:

- 2009 Marine Corps Marathon
