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
I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in November 2023, at 37 years old. I have 2 children, who are currently 4 and 8. I have benefited from ongoing reserach in Metastatic Breast Cancer, including my current treatment.
Teh cancer is what is called triple positive, which means it has estrogen and progesterone receptors as well as the Her 2 protein. Many of my treatments have focused on targetting the HER 2 protein. In July 2026, a brain MRI showed some brain mets. The treatment was still working in my body, but was not passing the blood brain barrier. I am fortunate to be benefiting from reserach presented in December 2025, and be on 3 different medications that allow me to keep my life as routine as possible.

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.
