I'm raising money in support of Myeloma Canada and The Ottawa Hospital through the event 'Steps to a Cure!'
This Ottawa-Gatineau Multiple Myeloma March is a 5 km walk to raise funds that enable Myeloma Canada and the Ottawa Hospital to invest in important research that helps to extend and improve the lives of those living with Myeloma. By making a donation to this team, you are helping to fund clinical research and to support advocacy for accelerated access to game-changing therapies for Canadian myeloma patients.
Research is critical. Through the 14 months with my treatments and stem cell transplant, and now ongoing maintenance drugs, I've learned how important it is. I have been the beneficiary of the research and the many previous clinical trials. Once my current treatment stops being effective, hopefully a long way away, I'll need to move to another treatment drug(s) and therapy.
We would love your support so please join my team, register as an individual or make a donation on my behalf. Tax receipts are given for donations of $20 or more.
If you'd like to join Bob and me for the walk, please register as part of 'Team Cheryl' and we'll see you on Sept. 21st! I admit I won't be walking too far myself - hopefully I'll be stronger next year!
Thank you so much for all of your support.
Sincerely,
Cheryl
