Oct. 13 is Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) Awareness Day. MBC is stage 4 breast cancer that has spread outside the breast -- usually to the lungs, liver, bones, and/or brain. Why is a day like today necessary for this specific cancer? 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer and of those, 30% will develop MBC.
Each day 115 people die from MBC, and in honor of that statistic, more than 115 landmarks in cities in all 50 states will be lit up with the colors of MBC: teal, green and pink to raise awareness about this disease. That includes the Blue Bridge and the McKay Tower in Grand Rapids.
This year, the #LightUpMBC LIVE event will happen at 8 p.m. on the METAvivor Facebook page as well as their website. There will also musical performances by John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls and David Byran of Bon Jovi.
Donna Waters is currently living with MBC in Grandville. She shares why this day is so important and how you can get involved in this special event tonight.
