Everyone can participate and help raise funds for groups that support those with metastatic breast cancer.

As a follow-up to our 2013 program, Living Beyond Breast Cancer, Metastatic Breast Cancer Network and MetaVivor are partnering with Genentech to honor the 5th Anniversary of Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day by launching a new interactive video wall to gather sentiments from the MBC community. Faces of MBC is asking participants to share through photos, words of wisdom and videos accomplishments within the MBC Community over the last 5 years and what they hope to see accomplished in the next five years. In addition, Genentech is donating $10 for each new upload and $1 for every unique page visit to nonprofits that support MBC initiatives (up to $20,000).

Below is some sample promotional language about our MBCA Day plans that would be great if you would be willing to post via Facebook or Twitter.
