SAMPS Myeloma Challenge 2021


We still can’t be physically together due to COVID-19 restrictions, but we can still get connected for our annual fundraiser! For the second year in a row, you will be able to set your own personal challenge to help raise funds and awareness to beat myeloma. You choose what a meaningful challenge would be – something that you can do at your personal stage of myeloma; something unique and based on your own personal journey. Here are some ideas:

• Walk, run or cycle a certain distance


• Walk a target number of steps each day


• Sew a number of masks


• Shave your head


• Create artwork for donation


• Help a person in need


The list is endless – we can all make a difference in our own unique way. We exceeded our goal of $50,000 and got $56,000 last year. Let's beat the record! Read about our 2020 Myeloma Challenge here.

Money raised in the SAMPS Myeloma Challenge:

• Stays in Calgary


• Facilitates the awareness of myeloma in Southern Alberta


• Supports the University of Calgary Division of Hematology Research and Education Fund, specifically for Multiple Myeloma


• Allows the development of new clinical trials for myeloma and myeloma research in Calgary


The Myeloma Challenge will run from July 18 - 24, 2021. Registration information to follow.
