Help Tami raise money

My Story…

Tami Eagle bowling, Global Campaign Director, #LightUpMBC and Producer, #LightUpMBC Live

At the age of 41, I heard the words "you have cancer" that changed my life forever. During a routine mammogram, breast cancer was discovered. Since it was also in my lymph nodes, a pet scan was ordered that determined my stage 4 metastatic breast cancer (MBC) diagnosis. My children were just 2 and 4 years old at the time. Even though there is no cure, I was told that I could start an oral chemotherapy that had just been approved by the FDA 3 months prior to my diagnosis.. This treatment has helped me surpass the 3 year life expectancy and is still keeping me alive today. That is the power of research and why it is so critical to keep funding the pipeline.  Every night I have the same dream about scientists who have figured out a way to end death from breast cancer. My children have so much to learn about the world and I want to be the one to teach them. I am grateful for every minute of every day. 

I recently spoke to several scientists whose work was funded by METAvivor. The progress they are making for the stage 4 breast cancer community is made possible by your generosity. Thank you so much for supporting my efforts to fund critical MBC research.
