My connection to Multiple Myeloma began in 2017 when I was diagnosed with this unfamiliar cancer after months of unexplained back and bone pain. After five months of Chemotherapy, I underwent a Bone Marrow Transplant that took close to three years+ to recover. My long journey has allowed me to return to work and also literally get back in the saddle and ride my bike everyday. I am very fortunate to report that I am not on any maintenance medications and continue to thrive. Multiple Myeloma Canada helped me during my time of need and I feel I can give back by raising money to help others get through their myeloma journeys.
