I am raising money in support of Myeloma Canada by leading and participating in the Mississauga Multiple Myeloma March.  Each patient member of our Halton Peel Myeloma Support Group will need new anti-cancer drugs when the ones they are currently on stop being effective.  This requires an enormous amount of continued research. 

In 2023, in an effort to inspire others to this cause and to test my inner and physical strength as a patient with multiple myeloma, my husband and I began a 3800 km hike around Europe. Starting in Lisbon, Portugal, we hiked north to Santiago, Spain and across Spain to France, but in reverse direction. In spring 2024, we hiked 500 km across most of France. We then started in Italy at the border of Switzerland and hiked southeast 250 km through the mountains and across the rice paddy flats to Piacenza, Italy.  So, this year we have hiked about 750 km and to date we have completed over 2000 km of the intended trip. We hope to complete the rest of the journey, through Rome and Sicily and back to Lisbon, by the end of 2026.  

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.
