VIEW OUR MOST RECENT EVENT RECORDING:

June was Men’s Health Month. In honor of that, we premiered this conversation between three men with varying stages of breast cancer and learn about how they navigate their lives through this shared experience. Hosted by Komen’s MBC Steering Committee member and well-known social media supporter, Jake Messier (known by his social handle, the guy with stage 4 breast cancer), these men talk through how they initially were diagnosed, what their treatment entails and resources that have assisted them along the way.
