"By supporting breast cancer research, we are investing in the discoveries that save lives, improve outcomes, and bring us closer to a future where no one has to hear the words, 'You have breast cancer.'"—Daniel Grove

Daniel is running the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon in honor of his sister, April. "Watching my sister, April, face her diagnosis with extraordinary strength and resilience showed me both the challenges patients endure and the critical need for continued progress in prevention and treatment," he said. "The hope she carried throughout her journey was made possible in part by advances driven by research, and I want future patients and families to have even more reasons for hope."

When Arjun Bhayani’s grandmother was diagnosed with triple-negative metastatic breast cancer, he wanted to do more than feel helpless, he wanted to help fuel progress.

After learning about BCRF and the critical role research plays in advancing better treatments and outcomes, Arjun turned his passion for music into action. In 2025, he organized his first fundraising concert to support breast cancer research, bringing together his community through an evening of music, connection, and hope.

Inspired by the impact of that first event, Arjun hosted the concert again this year—raising an incredible $9,064 for BCRF, more than tripling last year’s total of $2,930. 🎶

We’re so grateful to Arjun, the performers, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this event possible. Every fundraiser, every donation, and every act of support helps advance research that brings us closer to a world without breast cancer.

Thank you, Arjun, for using your voice to make a difference. 💕

A mastectomy can bring up many questions, especially for those newly diagnosed or exploring treatment options.

While it is a common and often highly effective procedure for treating or reducing the risk of breast cancer, the experience is different for everyone. Understanding what to expect before, during, and after surgery can help patients feel more informed and supported in their decisions.

As with all breast cancer treatment decisions, care is individualized and guided by a patient’s medical team. Read more at the link in comments.

From a single scientific question to decades of discovery, research has transformed HER2-positive breast cancer from one of the most aggressive diagnoses into one of the most treatable.

The identification of the HER2 gene sparked a wave of innovation that led to targeted therapies which dramatically improved outcomes for patients. And the progress didn’t stop there—next-generation treatments continue to expand options and extend lives.

This is what sustained, collaborative research makes possible. Support breast cancer research today so the next breakthrough isn’t delayed and learn more at the link in comments.

A breast cancer diagnosis can change life in many ways, and every person's experience is different.

For some, that means navigating life after active treatment. For others, including those living with metastatic breast cancer, it means balancing ongoing treatment with everyday life.
