She walked onto the stage with stage four metastatic breast cancer.

She didn’t lead with it.
She sang.

In this powerful episode of Rubin On Point, Dr. Dan Rubin sits down with Mitch Marczewski — brother of Nightbirde and Executive Director of the Nightbirde Foundation — to talk about resilience, grief, generosity, and how her legacy is actively changing lives.

The Nightbirde Foundation was created to bring hope and financial support to young women with breast cancer — especially those seeking integrative oncology care. Through “Gifts of Hope” boxes, direct treatment grants, and hospital partnerships across the country, the foundation continues the generosity that once carried Jane through her own cancer journey.
