I’m thrilled to be participating in Fundraise for METAvivor Research and Support, Inc., a fundraiser supporting women like myself who are fighting metastatic breast cancer.

Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is stage 4 breast cancer, for which there is no cure. Over 670,000 people die each year globally from MBC, with over 43,000 dying each year in the U.S. alone (117 per day). Metastatic breast cancer spreads mostly to the bones, liver, lungs and the brain, causing MBC patients to be in treatment for the rest of their lives – with only 31% of U.S. MBC patients living longer than 5 years. Approximately 30% of early stage breast cancers recur as stage 4 MBC. If you know someone who has died of breast cancer, that means it was metastatic breast cancer. We are working hard to change these statistics!

I’m passionate about this cause and need your help! Every donation—big or small—helps me reach my fundraising goal and directly supports metastatic breast cancer research.

Here's how you can help:

• Donate: Contribute whatever you can. No amount is too small!
• Spread the Word: Share my fundraising page with your friends, family, and social networks. Let’s spread awareness so we can raise more!

Thank you for standing by me in this effort. Your support means the world to me!
