"As of 2024, the number of early onset cancer cases – or those occurring in adults under 50 years old – is increasing by 1% to 2% annually. This means that a significant number of the child-bearing age population is affected by the disease, thus more and more children are dealing with a parent’s diagnosis. Among the most common cancers found in younger adults is breast cancer; for a small child, coping with their parent’s – specifically their mother’s – illness can be terrifying, and may lead to short-term and long-term challenges."

Our Holiday Fundraiser was everything we had hoped it would be! We'd like to extend a special thank you for the kindness and generosity of all those who attended ?

Kind words like this are the exact reason we exist ??

Highlights from our Early Onset Breast Cancer Conference this past October! We are looking forward to our MBC Conference this March. In person events are an amazing way to find support, learn & build a strong community when living with breast cancer, which is why we host them. As always, we are so grateful for our sponsors, presenters and everyone who attends!

Just a friendly reminder to check if your employer will match your donation if you plan on giving this holiday season! #GivingTuesday is December 3rd, and if you are planning to be part of the great give we would be honored if you would consider making Infinite Strength the recipient.

Here's a s peek of some live auction items that will be at our Holiday Fundraiser ? ?? There is still time to purchase your ticket if you haven't yet: https://lnkd.in/e8WkRj9g

We are incredibly grateful to The Herman Family for hosting a fundraiser last month that raised $25,000.00 for Infinite Strength. This family is dealing with a stage IV cancer diagnosis and still wanted to give back to us. They are truly selfless. Our gratitude and prayers are with them. ??

Just a friendly reminder that our holiday event is only a few weeks away and we ask that you purchase your tickets now if you are planning to attend. We need to give the venue an accurate headcount by the end of the month, so please plan accordingly. We are excited to ring in the holiday season with festive items and specialty handmade decor, all up for auction!

This panel discussion co-hosted with Memorial Sloan Kettering was all about patient navigation and various patient resources available. We are so grateful for the team at MSK for making this event possible, along with our sponsors, Gilead, Stemline, Pfizer and Novartis. We also want to thank the amazing resource vendors who attended and provided support for patients: RedDoor Community, SHARE, Cancer and Careers and S.A.V.E.D 4 Life Cancer Corporation.

With an average life expectancy of 36 months after an MBC diagnosis, this law is extremely problematic. We speak with women who are unable to work due to their disease progression, but find themselves in the waiting room for these benefits. This creates a situation of dire need- some women choose to stop treatment so they can feel well enough to go back to work, or in some advanced cases, they end up with an eviction notice. This vicious cycle MUST end — MBC patients deserve better.
