20% of all Artwork Sales Will Be Donated to the Lucy Fund
The Lucy Fund was started in 2008 when Lucy Stanovick, at 42 years old, was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. At that time, stage IV patients were considered a lost cause. Since then Lucy learned that there is hope.
Researchers are working on ways to make this a controlled, chronic disease, but the necessary resources are lacking. Currently less than 1% of all cancer research money goes to metastatic research.
The Lucy Fund and NFCR are determined to raise awareness and funds specifically for stage IV breast cancer research.
