Every day 117 people in the U.S. die of metastatic breast cancer (MBC), also known as Stage 4, where the breast cancer has spread to other parts of the body. Funding MBC research is the only way to find a cure!
ABOUT ME
Supporting Caleigh Miller’s Mom and All Those Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer
This October, our team is proud to join the #LightUpMBC campaign to raise awareness and funds for metastatic breast cancer (MBC)—in honor of Caleigh Miller’s mom, who was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer earlier this year.
Caleigh is a deeply valued member of our community and industry. Her strength and openness in sharing her mother’s story have inspired us to focus our efforts this year on supporting those living with MBC and the families who stand beside them.
Why This Matters
Unlike early-stage breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer occurs when cancer has spread beyond the breast—to areas like the lungs, liver, brain, or bones. While there is no cure, treatments can extend life and improve quality of life. More research is urgently needed to help those living with this disease and to advance progress toward better treatments and outcomes.
How You Can Help
We’re joining together to change that. Every dollar raised helps fund life-saving research, patient support, and programs that bring hope and resources to those living with MBC.
For Caleigh’s mom.
For every family navigating this diagnosis.
For a future with better treatments and more time.
WHAT IS #LightUpMBC ?
The #LightUpMBC campaign is a global initiative aimed at raising awareness and funds for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) research to benefit METAvivor. Held annually in October, the campaign partners with hundreds of iconic landmarks around the world to illuminate in the symbolic MBC awareness colors of green, teal, and pink. By uniting patients, families, and supporters, #LightUpMBC shines a spotlight on the urgent need for more research and resources to improve outcomes for MBC patients.
#LightUpMBC Live is a dynamic virtual event that serves as the centerpiece of the #LightUpMBC campaign, bringing together the metastatic breast cancer (MBC) community and its supporters for an evening of storytelling, inspiration, and impact. Hosted annually on October 13 on Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day, this live-streamed program features powerful stories from MBC patients and their families, musical performances, and appearances by special guests who amplify the mission of raising awareness and funds for MBC research. #LightUpMBC Live provides a platform for education and advocacy, highlighting the urgency of funding scientific breakthroughs for the most advanced stage of breast cancer.
