MMG Gifts Supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month

MMG Gifts Supports Breast Cancer Awareness Month

On October 1, 1975, my Granny died of metastatic breast cancer.
45 years ago, my life was forever changed, and my childhood was marked by a tremendous loss. I do not remember her, but I am acutely aware that I missed out on a whole lot of love and great Polish food. My annual mammogram stokes fear--for my mom, my sister, and me. Will we get metastatic breast cancer too?
1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime (National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.). Roughly 4% of newly diagnosed breast cancer patients are Stage IV at initial diagnosis, and an additional 30% of people who are diagnosed with early stage breast cancer will eventually metastasize. 114 individuals die each day from MBC in the United States (METAvivor.org).
In 1975 my Granny was one of those 114 individuals. I want to make a difference and be part of the solution to this frightening disease. Do you have a loved one that you want to support or remember this October?
Well, I am proud to use our business, MMG Gifts, to fundraise for METAvivor, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of women with metastatic breast cancer. Most impressively, 100% of their funding is devoted to research. We are selling PINK items and a specific dollar amount from each item will be collected and lumped into one meaningful contribution, honoring my Granny, in the fight to end deaths from metastatic breast cancer.
By the way, this is my 1st post ever. I'm gratified to begin my fundraising efforts with this very personal drive. Join me in fighting breast cancer. TOGETHER, let us spread the knowledge and fuel the hope. Wear PINK.
