Our story…
Lena loved her community and was a huge asset to the town of Midland Park. She spear headed and developed many PTA programs and loved to foster learning among the community's young people. She also dedicated herself for more than 15 years to the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey leading two troops over the years and inspiring many young girls. She also served on the Midland Park Library Board and Friends of the Library Board. Lena passed away from MBC.
We hope to continue to raise money for a cure so that no other families have to experience this loss. We would love you to join our team or donate to help fund more research .
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.
