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.
