After a wildly successful fundraiser at Stand Up NY on Manhattan's West Side, we have partnered with the Laugh Factory in Los Angeles, CA to bring you a star studded "Laughs for a Cause" comedy night on October 11th to continue our cause in raising funds for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer research.

Gitty Leiner, founder and executive director, was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer at age 47, and as a single mother to a beautiful 4 year old daughter, she knew she had to do everything in her power to live and fight each day to the fullest. With lifelong treatment ahead there needs to be a definitive cure. Scientists are embarking on breakthrough treatments for breast cancers. We need to educate, mobilize, and inform as many women as possible about early screening and to fund these new technologies to rid the world of metastatic breast cancer once and for all!

Between 20 and 30 percent of women with early stage breast cancer go on to develop metastatic disease or stage 4. This means breast cancer has travelled to a different part of the body from the site of original diagnosis. We want to empower women to obtain early breast cancer screening helping save lives. With no cure for metastatic breast cancer, where treatment is lifelong, more research is needed to focus on why, how, and when breast cancer spreads.

The time is now to find a cure for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.
