Northwest Arkansas Metsquerade

The NWA Metsquerade was started by Kelli Parker of Bella Vista AR & Lisa Quinn of Springdale AR. Pink ribbons abound in October and April announcing the seasons of Breast Cancer "awareness" in Northwest Arkansas. Hundreds of thousands are raised in our area, but what is being done to help those living with Stage IV breast cancer, metastatic breast cancer, the ONLY breast cancer that kills? A lot less than you think. Metastatic breast cancer is breast cancer that has spread from the breast to vital organs and bones where it threatens and ultimately ends life. This isn't a pretty pink reality, but it's my reality and the reality for many of my friends. Join us for a night of dancing, dinner, drinks, silent and live auctions, and engaging speakers and help us raise money for METAvivor; the only non-profit ran BY metastatic patients FOR metastatic patients. Every penny they raise goes toward metastatic research. After hearing our message and meeting my incredible friends, I'm sure you'll agree that Stage IV needs more.
