Here we are in the middle of March, which is also “Triple Negative Breast Cancer Awareness” month! March 3 was TNBC Awareness Day, followed by my nine year “cancerversary” on March 13. So, of course I had to dedicate this edition of “Everyday Runway” to all things TNBC, as well as recommend some great swag for a triple amazing cause!
Until I was diagnosed, I didn’t even know that there were different types of breast cancers. The Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation (TNBC Foundation) is the leading source for credible and current triple negative breast cancer information, a catalyst for science and patient advocacy, and a caring community with meaningful services for patients and their families.
Triple Negative Breast Cancer Awareness Day is the only global event dedicated to raising both awareness and funds for triple negative breast cancer exclusively. Throughout the month of March, one hundred percent of all donations that TNBC Foundation receives from individual donors toward this initiative are dedicated to TNBC specific research.
I’m the new and very proud board chair for TNBC Foundation. Last year, we launched our very first #Powerof3 TNBC Day campaign, inviting TNBC thrivers to wear their TNBC swag and post about the three things they wish they knew when they were diagnosed. This year, we have over 60 ambassadors made up of TNBC warriors and thrivers nationwide who have been posting on social media throughout the month, helping us raise awareness and funding to eradicate this disease.
Check out just a few of our amazing ambassadors—naturally they’re modeling the latest and greatest TNBC swag too.
