October is not like that only It’s nail and checkered month, and it’s also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And one day in October has special meaning: October 13, Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day.

One initiative has helped spread awareness of the day: an annual event that highlights the issue – quite literally. during #LightUpMBCnearly 300 memorials in all 50 states and more than a dozen countries around the world light up green, pink and teal, the colors of the Breast Cancer Awareness Ribbon beyond pink.

To mark the occasion, actress, singer-songwriter Jenna Naomi Baez, a three-time cancer survivor, and motivational speaker Tammy Eagle Bolling, who has metastatic breast cancer, will host #LightUpMBC Live, a live-streamed production to raise awareness of metastatic breast cancer, which is incurable, and raise money for breast cancer research Metastatic.
