it’s not October Now! The month of moody manicures and plaid; It is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And one day in October is especially meaningful: October 13, Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) Awareness Day.
And one initiative has helped bring awareness of the day into the mainstream: an annual event that highlights the cause — literally. during #LightupMBCNearly 325 landmarks in all 50 states and more than 195 cities around the world are illuminated in green, pink and teal, breast-cancer-awareness ribbon colors that go even further than pink.
To mark the occasion this year, the Broadway cast cara lindseyA breast cancer survivor whose credits include Wicked And newsand motivational speaker tammy eagle bowlingwho are living with metastatic breast cancer, will host #LightUpMBC Live, a livestreamed production that raises awareness about metastatic breast cancer, which is incurable, and raises funds to benefit MetaWeaver, a non-profit organization specifically dedicated to funding research and providing support for people with MBC.
