Jorie's First Pitch Fundraiser for MBC
A dream come true, I will be throwing out the first pitch at this year's Cubs/Sox Crosstown Classic. I am using the occasion to raise money for Metastatic Breast Cancer research. A lifelong Sox fan, I will take the mound at Wrigley wearing Cubby blue if Cubs fans donate more than Sox fans (but I know my Sox fans will show up). Please consider giving and supporting. Learn more and donate here.
METAvivor.org
In the sea of pink breast cancer awareness campaigns, METAvivor is the “Elephant in the Pink Room”. They work to raise awareness about metastatic, Stage IV breast cancer, and to fund research to extend the lives of people living with MBC.
If you know someone who has died from breast cancer, they died from metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Yet, only 2 - 5% of money for breast cancer research is dedicated toward understanding metastatic breast cancer, or finding solutions to extend the lives of MBC patients. METAvivor.org needs your help to shift the public discussion and prompt action for our disease. Together, we can be the catalyst for change.
