The METAvivor 5k will benefit the METAvivor Charity which supports metastatic breast cancer research, support, and awareness. 100% of proceeds after race expenses will be donated to METAvivor. METAvivor focuses on research efforts to render Stage IV breast cancer as a survivable condition. Research for Stage IV, the stage in which breast cancer kills, is hugely underfunded. Please come support this excellent cause.
