Our story…

Please help me raise money for METAvivor it has become so important to me throughout this journey.

  I will be on some sort of treatment forever for the rest of my life and I hope they last a long time and keep coming out with more treatments so I can live a long time.  

 The treatments I am on saved my life and has enabled me to live a very normal life. More funding, research, and awareness is needed to continue developing these amazing treatments - for all of us. 

I have met some inspiring women with MBC, who have been a huge support system for me. The work METAvivor does for   metastatic breast cancer thrivers is amazing - we need more research, more treatments, and, hopefully, someday, a cure.

Description

ABOUT METASTATIC BREAST CANCER

Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is stage 4 breast cancer, for which there is no cure. Globally, more than 685,000 people die each year from MBC, with more than 43,000 dying each year in the U.S. alone (115 per day). Metastatic breast cancer spreads mostly to the bones, liver, lungs, and brain, causing MBC patients to be in treatment for the rest of their lives—with only 22 percent of MBC patients in the U.S. living longer than five years. Approximately 30 percent of early-stage breast cancers recur as stage 4 MBC. While 98 percent of all breast-cancer-related deaths are from MBC, less than 5 percent of overall breast-cancer funding is currently allocated to researching metastatic breast cancer.

METAvivor is the only organization that puts 100 percent of donations toward finding a cure. This is absolutely amazing, and this year METAVivor, through donations and fundraising events such as this, has been able to award over $5.7 million in research grants. We are extremely passionate about raising money for this cause and truly thank you for helping save lives by participating in or fundraising for this event.
