Dedicate a Star

PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR DEDICATE A STAR CAMPAIGN HAS CLOSED FOR 2023

The Neuroendocrine Cancer UK’s ‘dedicate a star’ campaign is where you can donate and dedicate a star to someone who has shone brightly for you.

You can dedicate your star to anyone you choose – a loved one, a friend, a colleague, a support worker or a health care professional.

Our night sky site allows you to upload a photograph or image and message, to share with family and friends, to show your appreciation and love – and help raise awareness.

By supporting our ‘Dedicate a Star’ campaign, you will raise vital funds, driving research and maintaining our support and information services – making a real difference to those affected by Neuroendocrine Cancer.

They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but an entire lifetime to forget them.

I dedicate my star to my wonderful husband Ade, who stands beside me everyday and holds me up. You I are my rock, my best friend and my soul mate. With all my love, Always.

Let’s light up the sky and help make Neuroendocrine Cancer a thing of the past.
