My son Caleb and I are raising money in support of Myeloma Canada by participating in the Myeloma Canada Ride.

Today, Multiple Myeloma is not curable however due to research and medical advancements it is treatable. I was diagnosed in 2016 and had a Stem Cell Transplant to help me get it 'under control'. I remember the prognosis was around 5 to 8 years. Now we have patients living sometimes 20+ years. I do weekly chemotherapy. That being said, new treatments are being developed through the research funded by initiatives like this ride. There are promising new targeted therapies hopefully on the horizon. Until then I am going to continue to keep riding, climbing, living life to the fullest and doing whatever I can to stick around to see 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. Please make a donation today and help me to reach my fundraising goal!
