51% of the women calling the @WHWempower hotline have been strangled.

A year ago, “Beautiful” (@Bootsy_Collins remix) premiered during #LightUpMBC. 💗 @MicheleYoungOH1 & @GrooveMinteGirl joined @thebuzzcincy to share why it matters: MBC needs more research, treatment & visibility. Watch & share. 🎶 #MetastaticBreastCancer @LightUpMBC @metavivor

💗💚🩵 Today is Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day!
Tonight, as part of the @lightupmbc campaign, more than 325 landmarks across 196 cities worldwide will illuminate in pink, teal and green, honoring those we’ve lost and standing in solidarity with everyone affected by MBC.
Ready to erase breast cancer? So are we. 💗
Every voice, share & donation helps us get closer to a world without #breastcancer. Join the Pink Eraser Project & help us turbocharge the changes needed now: more research, earlier detection & equity for all.

Black women are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer, yet ~40% more likely to die from it, often due to late-stage diagnosis.
On #MBCAwarenessDay, let’s erase the diagnostic gap. Join us at pinkeraserproject.org.
#MetastaticBreastCancerAwarenessDay #LightUpMBC
No one knows exactly how many people have MBC. Registries only record stage at first diagnosis; recurrences go uncounted. According to @AmericanCancer, 42,000+ US women will die of #breastcancer-nearly all from MBC.#LightUpMBC #MetastaticBreastCancerAwarenessDay #StageIVNeedsMore
Join @LightUpMBC LIVE tomorrow, Oct 13 at 5 PT | 7 CT | 8 ET! Pink Eraser Project’s @MicheleYoungOH1 was diagnosed w/stage 4 #breastcancer 8+ years ago, so this spotlight on MBC is close to our hearts. Stream on @liveone, @metavivor YouTube, Facebook Live: lightupmbc.org/lightupmbc-li…
Only 51% of AI/AN women over 40 report a recent mammogram vs. 68% of white women. Closing the gap takes culturally informed outreach, screening close to home & timely treatment. Learn more: American Indian Cancer Foundation @NCUIH_Official @NIHB1 @IHSgov.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Native women. They’re diagnosed less often than white women, yet 6% more likely to die from it. According to @AmericanCancer, since 1989, US breast cancer death rates have dropped 44%, but not for Native women. #BreastCancerAwareness
Move more, eat well, stay ahead. Exercise & healthy habits can help keep cancer at bay & lower the odds of it coming back. Integrative care, like exercise & diet, is one of the things we're fighting for.

#LightUpMBC Live 2025: @MicheleYoungOH1 & @GrooveMinteGirl on the making of Beautiful. Thank you @LightUpMBC @Tebgirl @metavivor for a night that raised funds for MBC research. The mission hasn't changed: more research, more funding, more time. 🩷💚🩵#BreastCancerAwareness
So thrilled to see @MicheleYoungOH1 on @TODAYshow this morning for @pinkeraserproj vaccine to end #breastcancer #lifesaving
🎀 #BreastCancer doesn't have to be the end of anyone's story.
Michele Young, our Founding Executive Director, shares why we're working to erase it with the science we have today. 💗

HB 371 made Ohio require screening coverage. But copays still block access.
What's next? The #FindItEarlyAct.
The bill would mean no-cost coverage for mammograms, breast ultrasounds & MRIs for high-risk patients because no woman should hear "low risk" twice. #BreastCancer
Today is #WorldCancerResearchDay 🎗️ Research is why a breast cancer diagnosis looks different than it did 20 years ago — earlier detection, smarter screening, new treatments. At Pink Eraser Project, we thank the researchers pushing the next breakthrough forward. 💗 #BreastCancer
HB 371 passed in 2022, but @MicheleYoungOH1 hasn't stopped. Extra screening can still cost $200-$1,000 out of pocket — an impossible choice for many. A conversation with @katiecouric inspired the #FindItEarlyAct. Advocacy means showing up until the gaps close. #EraseBreastCancer

Today marks 4 years since Ohio enacted The #BreastCancer Bill. HB371 requires coverage for supplemental screening for women with dense breasts or elevated risk, helping catch cancers earlier. 4 years in, it’s not abstract. It’s a second chance.🎗️Read more: pinkeraserproject.org/hb-371…
Dense tissue hid Michele's cancer until stage 4. Her survival odds fell from 99% to 32% chance of surviving 5 yrs.* HB371 requires coverage for the supplemental screening that could have caught it sooner. The cost of waiting is measured in women we lose.

She had no time to lose. @MicheleYoungOH1 walked the OH Statehouse w/carnations & told her story. She found partners in Rep Schmidt & @SedrickDenson, UC Health doctors & @hcollaborative, building nearly 40 testimonies for HB371. It passed in 2022. That’s the power of showing up.

Michele was told she was low risk. After years of normal mammograms, she was diagnosed with #stage4breastcancer. Dense tissue hid the tumor. Before HB 371, Ohio didn’t require coverage for supplemental screening. Four years later, her story shows why access to screening matters.
