Dynami Foundation for Lobular Breast Cancer

Dynami = strength in Greek. Empower the lobular breast cancer community w/ research, survivorship support, & education. Together, we're stronger.

This is something we have dreamed about!

Today we officially launch the Lobular American Research Consortium (LARC) — the first coordinated national scientific consortium in the US dedicated exclusively to invasive lobular breast cancer (#ILC).

Supported by $250K in catalytic funding from the DYNAMI Foundation, LARC will unite leading researchers and cancer centers across the US & Canada to accelerate progress for lobular breast cancer patients.

For a disease impacting up to 20% of breast cancer patients — yet historically receiving less than 1% of dedicated research funding — this moment matters.

⏰ Deadline: Young Investigator Award in Lobular Breast Cancer Research

Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer (ILC) affects more than 40,000 people each year, yet it remains under-researched, underfunded, and often misunderstood.

To help change that, the Dynami Foundation partnered with Conquer Cancer, the ASCO Foundation to fund a $50,000 Young Investigator Award dedicated exclusively to ILC research.

This award is about more than funding. It’s about giving early-career physician-scientists the support, validation, and momentum to pursue meaningful work in a space that urgently needs attention. If you are an eligible investigator - or mentor one - please consider applying or sharing with colleagues who should not miss this! Opportunities focused solely on ILC are rare, and this is a chance to help move the field forward.

🗓️ Apply by March 12 - Questions: [email protected]

On World Cancer Day, we embrace DYNAMI (δύναμη, Thee-nah-mee)—the Greek word for strength—as we stand in solidarity with those currently fighting cancer, those who have faced it with courage, and those we remember with love. We honor every journey, every battle, and every life touched by this disease, sending love, light, and unwavering hope for a cure.

Together, we can turn strength into action. Donate today to support critical research, expand access to care, and help bring lifesaving breakthroughs to patients and families who need them most. @maggiemoo09 #DYNAMI #ILC #WorldCancerDay #LobularBreastCancer #Lobular #CancerResearch

Thirteen years ago, I showed up following SABCS as a newly diagnosed patient. This year, I showed up on the scientific stage — the first U.S. patient advocate ever invited to a special ILC session at SABCS. I never imagined I’d be in that room. But I was. And it mattered.

Grateful to SABCS, the other panelists, the leadership of key institutions and other research organizations to move this field forward. Join me - Follow me for more progress to come!

DYNAMI is at #SABCS25 as the 1st US patient advocate ever invited to speak on stage within the dedicated Invasive Lobular Carcinoma (ILC) scientific session at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. REACH OUT TO CONNECT - [email protected]

For nearly five decades, SABCS has shaped the direction of breast cancer science. Yet ILC — the second most common subtype — only received its first dedicated scientific session in 2023. And until now, a U.S. patient voice had never been included on that stage. This December marks a milestone not only for lobular breast cancer, but for the DYNAMI Foundation’s mission.

I will join world-leading researchers and clinicians to bring the lived experiences, unmet needs, and realities of people with lobular breast cancer into the scientific conversations that shape research priorities, clinical trial design, and future progress. Because meaningful change requires that patient perspective sits alongside science.

As I shared, “Including patient perspective in scientific discussions helps ensure research reflects the realities of living with this disease. Lobular breast cancer has been underrecognized for decades, and elevating that voice is essential to advancing science.”

There is still so much work ahead. But moments like this remind me that change is possible — especially when we stand together. With gratitude - Flora Migyanka @maggiemoo09
