Two years ago, I received a frightening diagnosis. A doctor told me I had a precursor condition to multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that is difficult to treat and (so far, at least) impossible to cure.

With the support of family and friends who helped me navigate the healthcare system, I've learned a lot about multiple myeloma since then. 

I'm now monitored regularly and have been very fortunate that my health has been stable and there has been no progression toward this awful disease. I'd like to keep it that way -- not just for me but for the thousands of Canadians every year who receive the news that they have an "MGUS" or smouldering myeloma.

That's where you come in. I’m raising money by participating in the Multiple Myeloma March.

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

While I understand not everyone is in position to donate, if you can, I would greatly appreciate whatever you can offer to help me reach my fundraising goal!

Thank you,

Maureen
