Become part of a movement to accelerate a cure for multiple myeloma!

    DETROIT, MI, June 05, 2024 /24-7PressRelease/ -- For over 25 years, the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation® (MMRF) has been the leading cancer research organization focused on multiple myeloma, the second most common blood cancer.

When you sign up for an MMRF Walk/Run event, you join nearly 30,000 participants across the country to accelerate a cure.

"Looking back to where we began 25 years ago, myeloma research has been transformed thanks to the persistence of the entire myeloma community. Yet, there is still much work to be done," states Michael Andreini, President and Chief Executive Officer, Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation®. "We remain committed to taking calculated risks and driving innovation through collaboration with our partners, we will continue to do great things on behalf of myeloma patients everywhere."

Register for free and start fundraising today! The support is essential and has a meaningful impact on the lives of thousands of patients and their families. Most programs begin between 815am and 9:00am and end between 10:30am -11:00am on a weekend.

Since the MMRF was founded 25 years ago, it has committed over $500 million for research, opened nearly 100 clinical trials, and helped bring over 15 FDA-approved therapies to market, which have tripled the life expectancy of myeloma patients.

With continued support, and efforts such as the Walk / Run in cities across the country this August – December Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation® will continue to drive the development and delivery of next-generation therapies, use data to identify optimal and more personalized treatment approaches, and empower myeloma patients and the broader community with information and resources to extend their lives.

Funds raised through past events have enabled the MMRF to:
• Invest over $500M for research.
• Bring 15+ FDA-approved drugs to market.
• Triple patient survival.

The Spirit of Hope Award is given to individuals/groups who inspire hope and show extraordinary commitment to the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation® (MMRF). This award is presented at every Walk/Run to a patient, caregiver, or family who inspires hope through their resilience, perseverance, and dedication to the MMRF and its mission.
