Geoff and Shirley Laney - Unicorn Foundation NZ

We are riding the North Island leg of the Tour of New Zealand in support of Unicorn Foundation NZ who support patients, research, and treatment for neuroendocrine cancers.

We have a friend who was diagnosed and has received treatment for this cancer so are keen to help. They are aiming to raise $400,000 to create a programme over the next two years, to set up and give access to around 100 New Zealanders to the best scan and to give them the best chance for the future.

At present the only way Kiwis with NETs can have this most important diagnostic test that helps determine their future, is to go to Australia - with no government support. This is very tough for some people.

Every dollar will make a huge difference so please support us as we embark on this important and worthy challenge.

Our challenge is to complete the near 700km cycle from Cape Reinga to Wellington and to contribute to this very worthy cause with your help. Every little bit will make a difference and all donations of $5 or more are tax deductible.

Some fast facts on NET Cancer:

• Over 300 diagnosed every year in NZ every year

• Numbers are higher than brain, ovarian, cervical and thyroid cancers

• Around 2000 NZ’ers living with NET cancer

• The best scans and treatment are not funded

• Steve Jobs died from NET Cancer

We thank you very much for your support.
