🎀 Women AND men—check your breasts. Your health deserves your attention!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this reminder is for everyone: men get breast cancer, too. According to the American Cancer Society, fewer than 1% of breast cancers in the United States occur in men. Rare doesn’t mean impossible. (cancer.org⁠)

Get familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel. Watch for:

🔎 A new lump or thickening in the breast or underarm
🔎 Skin dimpling, swelling or other changes
🔎 A ni**le turning inward or unusual ni**le discharge

Report new changes to your healthcare provider promptly—even if they don’t hurt. (cancer.org⁠)

Talk with your provider about your personal risk and the screening schedule that’s right for you. Self-checks do not replace recommended mammograms.

💗 Make time for your breast health—and share this reminder with someone you love.

Members of The MG Alliance are uniting at the AANEM Conference in Orlando! MG Ohio, MG Michigan, MG Holistic Society, Conquer MG, and MG Association are showing up together with a shared commitment to the myasthenia gravis community.

We’re also celebrating a meaningful milestone: the first results of the Black with gMG study, conducted in partnership with UCB, are being revealed at Poster #269! This work brings the experiences of Black people living with generalized myasthenia gravis into the research conversation.

📍 Attending the conference? Stop by Poster #269 and connect with us!

Together, we can keep patient voices at the heart of progress.

This is what empowerment looks like.

At our Women’s Empowerment Retreat, we don’t just talk about what we want next—we create space to see it, name it, and begin moving toward it.

Watching Niki walk us through her vision board is a reminder that our dreams don’t have an expiration date‼️ Whether the next chapter is about health, travel, joy, purpose, relationships, adventure, personal growth—or simply choosing yourself again—there is power in putting the vision in front of you.

These retreats are about so much more than a weekend away.

They are about:
🔸Reconnecting with yourself
🔹Creating new goals
🔸Building community
🔹Making room for joy
🔸Exploring what’s possible
🔹And leaving with something tangible that says, “I’m not finished yet.”

Sometimes you need to get away from the noise long enough to hear yourself dream again.

Dream it. See it. Move toward it. Dream Forward.

This is our Women’s Empowerment Retreat energy. 🥰🙌🏽

Jenn attended our Women’s Empowerment Retreat in Wisconsin. She was gracious enough to share her vision board with us!

Have you outlined a vision for your life? It is never too late!

Ever wonder what the rooms are like at our Women’s Empowerment Retreat in Wisconsin? 👀✨

Here’s a peek inside one of our accessible rooms—designed with extra space to comfortably accommodate wheelchairs, scooters, mobility equipment, luggage… and all the things that help you feel at home.

Bring what you need. Bring your comfy clothes. Bring your favorite pillow if you want.

But that bad energy? 😏
We’re gonna need you to leave that at the door.

This weekend is about rest, connection, empowerment, laughter, and pouring back into YOU. 💛

Because accessibility matters—and every woman deserves the opportunity to experience the retreat.

This room belongs to Trish, who is joining us for her fourth year! 💛

Welcome back, Trish! There is something incredibly special about seeing women return year after year. Thank you for continuing to trust us with your time, your experience, and your retreat journey.

From the personalized welcome touches to the peaceful spaces prepared for rest, reflection, connection, and renewal, we want every woman who walks through the door to feel that she was expected, she is valued, and this space was prepared with her in mind.

And this is just one room… 👀

We’ll be sharing more behind-the-scenes glimpses of our retreat spaces and experiences so you can see what makes these weekends so special.

Maybe next year, there will be a welcome sign with your name on it.

Groceries loaded and ready for the weekend retreat in Wisconsin!
