I heard that men get breast cancer in grade school when our Monsignor told us he had it. My name is Eric Pieszala and I have MBC. https://t.co/XdNZvNGwdb #MetastaticBreastCancer #MaleBreastCancer #1in833

@MLisaPgh @DaveDiCello @metavivor I figured we should mention #moorefightmoorestrong and #METAvivor since they organized this whole thing wordwide and were never mentioned in the OP.
You have every right to be crabby, #pinkwashing is exhausting. Hugs. 💙💗💚

[PghMets @MetsPgh]

@MLisaPgh @DaveDiCello Lisa this was part of #LightUpMBC worldwide action organized by #moorefightmoorestrong and @metavivor to raise awareness, educate, and fundraise for treatment of #MetastaticBreastCancer. We got 8 landmarks in #Pgh to support this. 100% agree on #pinkjun #researchnotribbons 💙💗💚

Jill Griffin, Pittsburgh Metsquerade Co-chair, died of metastatic breast cancer this morning.

Jill was diagnosed with MBC in January of 2017. Right after her diagnosis Jill got involved in advocacy and support for people living with MBC. She became involved with the MBC

#PghMets is heartbroken.
We have lost so many members & supporters since we started planning our event but our commitment to #researchnotribbons never ceased. After each loss, we pick pieces, we turn sorrow into resolve, and we push twice as hard because #itdoesnthavetobethisway
