Raising Awareness and Funding Research for Metastatic Breast Cancer

9 days until vraniCURE Bash 2023 and in order to meet our goal, we need you to be there. Grab a friend or two, tell a neighbor and join us as we raise funds for METAvivor Research and Support Inc.The harsh reality is the 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. 1 in 3 will have recurrence- stage iv metastatic breast cancer. Incurable. We cannot { yet } prevent breast cancer. Even catching it at stage 0 has this recurrence risk.In order to truly save women’s lives we need to do better. We need to fund metastatic research. When I was first diagnosed with stage iv or metastatic breast cancer, I learned that only about 3% of ALL breast cancer research funding is dedicated to it. When someone you love dies from breast cancer- this is what they died from. No matter if they were originally diagnosed at stage 0, 1, 2, 3 or like me stage iv- the only time someone dies from it is when it leaves the original tumor site in the breast and metastasizes or starts growing somewhere else; liver, lungs, bones or brain. The cruel reality is that even if you are deemed disease free or "cured" you still have a recurrence risk of about 30%. This is why funding stage iv research is so important- it effects every single women, or man, diagnosed with breast cancer. Every single one. A super easy way to do this? Join us for vraniCURE Bash 2023100% of proceeds will be donated to METAvivor Research and Support Inc. to fund this research.No other organization is 100% dedicated to stage iv.Purchase tickets here: https://lnkd.in/gJd4DMTG directly to METAvivor here: https://lnkd.in/gtawUkai Kevin Vranicar
