Hello Friends and Family,

For my birthday this year, I’m raising money in support of Myeloma Canada by participating in the Multiple Myeloma March. This cause is important to me, because I have lost a long-time friend to MM, and have another friend currently living with it. 

Multiple Myeloma is a cancer that starts in plasma cells. These abnormal cells begin to divide uncontrollably and make more myeloma cells. Over time, the myeloma cells crowd out normal blood cells and can also cause bones to become weak or damaged.  Plasma cell cancers can develop when there is a buildup of myeloma cells in bone marrow. Myeloma cells can also form tumours in bones

By making a gift, 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.

If you can, please make a donation today and help me to reach my birthday fundraising goal!

With thanks,

Hayley Scanlan
