Help us raise money

I was diagnosed with MBC August of 2020. I am an Adventurer, hiker,rock scrambler, gardener, paddle-boarder, Physical Therapist , loving wife, mother& friend.

My diagnosis was a ( unwelcome) surprise. I had some unresolved back pain that I attributed to lugging my paddlboard…..X-rays showed spots in lumbar/ pelvic areas. I was referred to an oncologist, bone biopsy, bloodwork and received a diagnosis  of  MBC, despite  years of regular negative mammograms  . I was certainly an unhappy & despondent camper at that time .  

I have teamed up with METAVivor because it  gives me factual& anecdotal information & support from others dealing with MBC. It provides opportunities to make meaningful personal connections, make our collective voices heard ,and financial contributions to advance research for more effective Tx plans. Most importantly, I have learned through METAvivor that science, family, friends,  & community support, some humor, and a bit of stubborn optimism are key to living with MBC with an active future.

Please donate if you can, as all money goes to research and with that comes the hope of new medications on the horizon soon.
