Thank you for visiting my page!
Though it's a bit after my birthday, I'm working on fundraising for the International Myeloma Foundation. I've chosen this nonprofit because, as many of you know, their mission means a lot to me, and I hope you'll consider contributing as a way to celebrate my father and all the lives he has touched. (Plus it being tax season, give yourself a tax break for a good cause! :D )
I have chosen this charity for my father & mother, in honor of the love they share and the strength they showed when facing his initial diagnosis. I chose the amount $888 so that there will hopefully be some extra luck with every donation. Every little bit will help us get closer to finding a cure.
The goal of this fundraiser is to improve the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure. I am participating (remotely) in the 2020 Defeat Multiple Myeloma 5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk because I want to take action and have an impact in the fight against this cancer. I want to bring new treatments to patients and provide the hope of a cure. Will you help me?
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today in support of my fundraising efforts; 100% of all funds raised will go directly to advancing multiple myeloma cancer research at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center!
What is the Multiple Myeloma?
Multiple Myeloma is a cancer of plasma cells found in bone marrow. Normal plasma cells help the immune system fight disease, but when plasma cells become cancerous they grow out of control and can produce a tumor called a plasmacytoma. If someone has more than one plasmacytoma, they have multiple myeloma.
Why support this event?
Defeat Multiple Myeloma’s mission is to raise awareness of multiple myeloma while supporting research that seeks to discover new treatments, improve the quality of life for myeloma patients, and ultimately find a cure for this devastating form of cancer. Funds from the 2020 Defeat Multiple Myeloma event will continue to support immunotherapy research and clinical trials at Fred Hutch which are using CAR-T cells and have shown very promising early results for patients.
