The Miranda Filmer Fund
Finding a cure for Neuroendocrine cancer
Miranda Filmer was a gifted event rider and sporty all-rounder, she loved lacrosse, cycling, running, surfing, skiing, waterskiing and her publishing job.
Miranda died on 10 June 2022 aged 30 of neuroendocrine cancer, which was diagnosed in 2017.
Miranda’s friends and her terrific sense of humour helped her endure many treatments over 5 years, her stoicism and courage amazed her family and friends.
What is Neuroendocrine Cancer?
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare tumours that can occur in the cells of the neuroendocrine system. The neuroendocrine system consists of nerve and gland cells. It produces hormones and releases them into the bloodstream. NETs are tumours (abnormal growths) that develop in the cells of the neuroendocrine system.
In February 2022 the Filmer family and the Royal Free Charity established the Miranda Filmer Fund for research into Neuroendocrine cancer. We are deeply grateful for a number of generous donations from philanthropists and friends for the wonderful amount raised so far.
