Dave Chuter

Joining DiCE, first, as an advocate and then as a board member, has been an inspiring journey. Being part of DiCE has allowed me to collaborate at the EU parliamentary level, work alongside passionate, like-minded individuals, and contribute directly to improving patient resources and research partnerships across Europe. It’s rewarding to make even a small difference at DiCE, knowing it significantly impacts patients.

Serving two terms on DiCE’s board provided me with an exceptional opportunity to experience the transformative power of shared commitment, resilience, and teamwork. My role as Treasurer taught me invaluable lessons about governance and trust, emphasizing the importance of a dedicated operational team and strong leadership. My time at DiCE has been professionally enriching and has created lasting friendships and cherished memories.

Alina Comanescu

My time on the board of DiCE has been enriching, allowing me to contribute actively to significant policy changes at both European and national levels. Organising key events like “Digestive Cancers—The Neglected Burden” in Romania has highlighted the importance of advocacy, dialogue, and stakeholder collaboration. Being part of DiCE means being committed to improving patient outcomes, advocating for better screening and increasing research funding. It’s an honour to support a movement that genuinely changes lives.

Alina Comenescu

I first connected with DiCE in 2021 as co-leader of Mon Réseau Cancer Colorectal, then the only French member organisation. Inspired by the quality of its work, I joined the Board in 2022 to contribute more actively. Since then, I’ve supported European projects and helped strengthen impact nationally. DiCE has enabled my ideas for patient support, health democracy, and ethical care to take shape. It’s a privilege to work alongside passionate advocates across Europe.
