HERAC

Help Educate And Raise Awareness Around Cancer

About the HERAC CIC Network

The Founder of the HERAC CIC Network is Alfred Samuels. Early in 2012, he was diagnosed with advanced metastatic prostate cancer, stage 4, and given 6 months to live. He survived due to his participation in the Stampede drug trial, funded by Cancer Research UK, for whom he is now an ambassador

He strongly believes he survived through a combination of; his participation in the Stampede drug trial Programme. Sheer determination, guts and a positive mindset; were his foundation for survival. Consequently, this was coupled; with a change of lifestyle and the constant and ongoing support of his family and friends.
