NET Cancer Day, November 10, 2013
Everyone has a hero – a person whose support, faith and positive energy are crucial in one’s journey through life. We all need a shoulder to lean on.
Name Your NET Hero to mark Worldwide NET Cancer Awareness Day, November 10th. Send in a photo of your NET Hero, and a line or two describing why he or she is your hero. Be it your doctor, nurse, spouse, friend, partner, colleague, etc., or all of them, bring these people to the spotlight, make their names and faces recognized on a global scale!
Many people around the world have NET cancer as part of their lives. Their stories with the disease make them heroes. Let’s bring our NET heroes from around the world together on the NET Cancer Day Facebook page and the NET Cancer Day website.
Here’s how to participate. Upload your photo on the NET Cancer Day Facebook page,https://www.facebook.com/netcancerday, and post a comment describing your hero.
NOTE: It is very important that you include #NETHero in your comment (use the # sign followed directly by the words NETHero with no spaces). This will ‘tag’ your photo and send it through to the special NET Hero page on the NET Cancer Day website. You can view all of the NET Heroes on the website,http://netcancerday.org/support-us/name-your-net-hero.
