Rocking 2024 Recap
Dear incredible Unicorn squad (aka our supporters!),
It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to continue enabling positive quality of life (QoL) change for the Metastatic Breast Cancer community through our grassroots organization - Unicorn. It was our dream (my late wife/BFF Janice and I), and we have made good on the promise for almost 2 and half years.
Let me share some highlights from 2024:
💖 Helped raise ~$42,000 for two programs benefiting 1,000+ MBC patients at MD Anderson Cancer Center
🌻 8 QoL-related programs supported via funding, advisory, or board involvement
🏛️ Advocated in Congress to improve health care access & increase MBC research funding (2nd year)
🚀 Started as a new board member at METAvivor. Continued on the Steering Committee of the ABC Clinic at MD Anderson Cancer Center
🎧 Featured in a podcast with Wildfire (breast cancer) Community (Apple, Spotify, Direct)
And now, the impact metrics for 2024:
👉🏼 $20,000 - direct funding for 8 MBC Quality of Life programs
👉🏼 $47,995 - total impact in 2024 (direct and influenced funding)
👉🏼 $131,995 - total impact since our inception in Aug 2022!! (direct & influenced)
8 MBC Quality of Life programs that we funded are:
