Our story…

In Memory of Angela Rogers

1984 - 2023

Forever in our Hearts



Please join us to walk on May 31st in memory of Angela or support by making a donation through this page. She always enjoyed participating in this event. We know that research is the only way to find a cure for breast cancer. 


As told by Angela:

In April 2021 at the start of my third trimester of pregnancy I started to have pain to my lower right ribs. I was sent to ultrasound and results were it was just some pregnancy complications of gallstones.


The pain continued till after delivery. I was sent for multiple scans along with having lab work done, the scan results concluded I had “Metastasis of unknown origin” in my liver and bones. I was sent for a biopsy of my right hip and in November 2021 was given the diagnosis of Stage 4 Breast Cancer.


At the time I couldn’t even believe what I was hearing, how did this happen? Without any family history, at the age of 37 , with a newborn, I had just been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer.


Our lives have become a roller coaster overnight. As overwhelming as the diagnosis is, my family is so blessed to have so many supportive people surround us, and we are forever grateful. My goal is to keep fighting to watch my kids grow up.


METAvivor has become an important cause for me as the funds go to metastatic breast cancer research. This research can lead to more treatments and hopefully eventually a cure.

ABOUT METASTATIC BREAST CANCER

Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is stage 4 breast cancer, for which there is no cure. Globally, more than 670,000 people die each year from MBC, with more than 43,000 dying each year in the U.S. alone (117 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 31 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 13 percent of overall breast-cancer funding is currently allocated to researching metastatic breast cancer.

METAvivor, through donations and fundraising events such as this, has been able to award over $41 million to fund 230 MBC 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.
