Upcoming Events
At the age of 26 in 2003 I was inducted into a rare club - as a multiple myeloma patient under 30!
Dr. Brian G.M. Durie discusses key takeaways from the annual conference and explains how this new and important information relates to myeloma patients, caregivers, and other members of the myeloma community
In January 2020, I will be participating in the Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend which partners with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to fight blood cancers. I’ll be running a 10k and Half Marathon (19.3 miles) back-to-back in honor and support of all those people like my dad, who heard one word, and instantly had their life changed. The training and energy I will have to endure during my races will not come close in comparison to the fight that patients with MM go through every single day.
Date: Saturday March 7, 2020 (MM awareness month)
Time: 2:00PM - 4:00PM Refreshments/Prizes to follow

In this seminar, you will learn about the latest treatments for and management of myeloma. Also, you will have the opportunity to network with other patients and family members who have perhaps gone through what you’re going through now. Also, these seminars are a wonderful time to get together to visit with old friends, make new friends, and exchange valuable first-hand information and true-life experiences.
