Angela at LMF is wonderful to deal with! I love that they support patients in getting the treatment that a rare cancer requires. LMF was great in helping us help others through our carcinoid awareness race. We are in a state where carcinoid treatment is not close at hand and expenses can get the better of the patient. Every patient deserves the chance to fight and LMF helps make that possible. Thanks for all you do!!!!

A year ago when I learned my carcinoid cancer had metastasized to my liver, my sister decided to organize an awareness race in our community. She began researching existing non-profits to whom we could send our proceeds, and when she found LMF, I thought it was the perfect fit! After my recent experience, I had a renewed sense of the importance of helping patients with expensive travel-related costs, surgeries, and LIFELONG therapy for this rare cancer. Hats off to LMF for the amazing work you do!
