METAvivor Research and Support announces the launch of the sixth
annual #LightUpMBC campaign, uniting global landmarks to light up
in teal, green and pink to raise awareness and research dollars for
metastatic breast cancer (MBC).
Metastatic Breast Cancer, also known as MBC or Stage 4 breast
cancer, occurs when cancer spreads beyond the breast to other parts
of the body. Despite advances, over 685,000 people worldwide die
from MBC each year, with no current cure available.
Jamil Rivers, METAvivor Board
President, stated "Metastatic breast cancer is the only terminal
form of breast cancer. We must fund research to make this disease
survivable."
On October 13, National Metastatic
Breast Cancer Awareness Day, over 270 landmarks across all 50 U.S.
states and around the world will illuminate in the MBC awareness
colors of teal, green and pink in a show of solidarity with the
metastatic breast cancer community. Landmarks include One World
Trade Center (NY), Seattle Great Wheel (WA), Boathouse Row (PA),
Uniroyal Tire (MI), Calgary Tower (Canada) and Trafalgar Bridge (Australia).
#LightUpMBC Live, a virtual benefit, features inspiring MBC
patient stories, illuminated landmarks from around the globe and
performances by GRAMMY® Award-winner Lisa
Loeb, American Idol winner David
Cook, Two-time GRAMMY® nominee Tracy
Bonham, Singer/songwriter Rozzi, Actress/breast cancer
survivor Dionne Lea and EMMY®
Award-winning entertainer Keith
David.
Co-hosted by actress and influencer Miranda McKeon, the Anne with an E star
diagnosed with breast cancer at age 19, and produced by
Tami Eagle Bowling, nine year Stage
4 MBC Thriver, #LightUpMBC Live will stream live from the Hilton in
Short Hills, NJ through the
LiveOne app and platform. For a dual viewing experience, watch via
@METAvivor YouTube on your smart TV while streaming on @METAvivor
Facebook Live to engage with other MBC thrivers and supporters.
"My best friend and inspiration for this campaign, Jessica Moore, died of metastatic breast cancer
at the young age of 36," said Laura
Inahara, #LightUpMBC Founder who secured the Portsmouth
Memorial Bridge as the first landmark to light in 2017. "Every
landmark that shines is in memory of those who passed away and
gives hope to patients living with MBC that a cure is possible in
their lifetime."
Some other facets of the campaign to raise funds include
#LightUpMBC Apparel, Shimmer By Cindy MBC Jewelry Collection, and a
great auction which is now live at LightUpMBC.GiveSmart.com
