On May 24th, I will be participating once again, in the Myeloma Canada Ride with three of my favourite people!! This year we will be riding the shorter route of approximately 36kms.

This is a cause very close to my heart, since my partner was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer, 4.5 years ago. Thanks to the life-saving treatment of a stem cell transplant, he was able to enjoy these past years remission.  Unfortunately, he has now relapsed and has started a new cycle of drugs for the next few months, in preparation for another stem cell transplant.  His diagnosis is going to be a life-long journey and we are simply hoping for another 'uneventful' period of remission.  Currently, there is no cure for myeloma, so it's important to continue the research for better treatments and possibly a cure.

By making a donation to me, you are supporting the pursuit of curing and preventing the disease, accelerating access to the best care, while empowering and improving the lives of all Canadians affected by myeloma.
