On Sunday night, I have 2 minutes to share my story on #LightUpMBC Live. It’s only 2 minutes. The best way to support me is to watch the event on your own or with a group of people. If you are local, my friends at Power Planter are hosting a watch party. I will share my 2 minutes story around or after 7:45 pm. You will also see and my friends from Creekside Nursery and Power Planter in a 1 minute video promoting our auction item.
We want everyone to understand what metastatic breast cancer is and that less than 5% of breast cancer research dollars are dedicated to metastatic breast cancer. I also hope you share my story or other information about breast density and why it matters so much.
You can direct people to My Density Matters. Their website is full of information on dense breast tissue. That organization works hard to get the information out and to influence the legislation we need. Recently they met with a large class of medical students so that all those future doctors will know what their patients with dense breast tissue need.
Check out the LightUpMBC auction site that is already live. You will see the Creekside Nursery Signature Event listed.

IMPORTANT
Your support is overwhelming and I am so grateful for all of you. I am also still a person dealing with metastatic breast cancer and I’ve been pretty fatigued lately. I’m trying to preserve enough energy to make it through Sunday and then I have some days of rest planned. It still hurts to tell my story, even though I’ve done it so much over the last 5 years. And I will definitely keep doing it as long as I can so that MBC gets the research dollars and so all women with dense breast tissue get the scans they need to detect cancer at an early stage when it is still curable.
Thank you all so, so much for helping me do this. It means the world to me.
I am not in control.
