Worthy for Thirty

📢📢📢📢 If I could turn my podcast into a Times Square billboard, I would—just to share Elissa’s story and the incredible impact she’s having on the cancer-fighting community. Service is a core value, both personally and for this show (perhaps under ‘people,’ Carrie) The big question is: how can WE help? This is Elissa’s MO. And you hear it through her Good Morning America segment 👇🏼 I can't wait to sit down with her and spread the word about the amazing work she and the WeGotThis.org team are doing to support cancer thrivers, survivors, and their loved ones.

Today is Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day, and I want to raise awareness by talking to myself from October of 2020, before I even knew what MBC was! Metastatic Breast Cancer (MBC) accounts for 30% of all breast cancer cases and is responsible for nearly 100% of all breast cancer deaths. In fact, someone dies from breast cancer every 14 minutes in the U.S. 😳 At WeGotThis.org, we are committed to bringing comfort and joy to those living with cancer. This month WeGotThis.org is also making contributions to The Breasties Stage 4 Research Grant and METAVIVOR RESEARCH AND SUPPORT INC, two organizations dedicated to advancing MBC research and quality of life for thrivers like me 💚 💙 🩷 Together, WE GOT THIS. 👊🏻 #MetastaticBreastCancerAwarenessDay #stageivneedsmore #BreastCancerResearch #WeGotThis #Metavivor #TheBreasties

I love wearing guest’s brand merch! If you’re not following Elissa Kalver and her non-profit, WeGotThis.org, you should! They’re the first gift registry for cancer survivors, thrivers and supporters! I’ll be wearing this hat during future podcast recordings starting with Stephen Ready —- Michael Marni

Here’s a behind-the-scenes peek into my day at chemo yesterday! This might sound crazy, but in between finding out next steps for my breast cancer recurrence, meeting with my doctors, and getting my infusion, I worked on my keynote presentation and strategies for WeGotThis.org. I even brought my Chief Development Officer, Sarah Kovacs, to work with me. Why don’t I just focus on chemo? Because that would suck! I’m positive about my outlook for my metastatic disease, even in the face of bad news. The one thing I won’t do though is slow down. That’s when I’ll make myself sick. That’s when the side effects of cancer and treatment will get the best of me. Are there any specific parts of my nonprofit or treatment that you’re curious about or want to learn more about? I’m an open book (that’s a reference to that I just wrote a book too haha).

Thank you, E.B. Moss for sharing. This is what life is about doing good while doing well. Living by a golden rule. Setting the example for ourselves and the people around us. This is how legacies are built for future generations. Titles and $ are ephemeral Impacting other people lasts forever I highly recommend watching Evan Shapīro’s speech 👇🏼
