THE Macksville Bridge and Big Banana were lit in vivid blue on Monday night, 10 November to mark Neuroendocrine Cancer (NEC) Day, a global event that seeks to enhance awareness of this relatively little-known cancer.
Representatives from the Coffs Coast NEC support group were thrilled to witness such a spectacle, as it helped to draw what is a worldwide movement to their doorstep.
“It can be easy to feel alienated when faced with a diagnosis of Neuroendocrine cancer, so this type of public display serves to buoy spirits and create a sense of comradeship, both within and beyond our small group,” Coffs Coast Neuroendocrine Cancer Support Group facilitator Andrea Stafford said.
