The Healing NET Foundation

At The Healing NET Foundation, we’re on a mission to improve the lives of people affected by neuroendocrine cancer (NETs) through education, connection, and compassion. We believe in empowering patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals with the knowledge and resources they need to navigate this complex disease — and to find hope along the way.

Why We Care

Neuroendocrine cancer is rare and often misunderstood. Too many patients spend years searching for answers. That’s why we work tirelessly to bridge the gap between patients and providers — to ensure that every person facing NETs feels seen, supported, and informed. From national education programs to hands-on advocacy and community building, our goal is simple: to make healing a team effort.

Why We’re Running the Denver Colfax Marathon

We’re proud to call Denver one of our home communities. Our co-founder, Dr. Eric Liu, leads the Neuroendocrine Institute at Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers right here in the Mile High City. Denver is where our mission comes to life — through engaged patients, dedicated advocates, and passionate board members who represent the heart of The Healing NET Foundation.

Joining the Denver Colfax Marathon is more than just a run for us — it’s a celebration of strength, resilience, and community. It’s a way to bring people together — patients, families, doctors, friends, and supporters — to move forward with purpose and shine a light on a disease that too often stays in the shadows.

Why We Love Denver

Denver embodies the spirit of connection and perseverance that drives our work. The mountains inspire hope, the people inspire action, and every mile reminds us that we are stronger together. Whether you’re running, walking, cheering, or fundraising — every step helps us make a difference in the lives of those facing neuroendocrine cancer. Come run with us.

Let’s turn every mile into meaning — for healing, for hope, and for our community.
