The SAMPS 2022 Virtual Challenge is scheduled for the week of July 18 – 23, 2022. This year, the event will conclude with an in-person BBQ at Canyon Creek Community Centre on the afternoon of July 23, 2022 at a cost of $15 (adult) and $10 (children under 12) which promises to include some great fun activities!
For the challenge, you choose a challenge activity that is meaningful to you – something unique that you can do at your own pace, whatever the stage of your personal Myeloma journey. Whether you 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, or help a person in need - the list is endless – we can all make a difference in our own unique way. If you cannot physically participate in the challenge, then please help us by making a DONATION. Reach out to family and friends who would like to support both you and the cause and help bring us closer to a cure for myeloma.
Are you up for the Challenge?
You can sign up as an individual, join an existing team or get a group of good friends together and create your own team! This year we’ve changed things up a little – instead of charging a registration fee (which is not tax deductible), we are asking everyone who registers to please make a donation to the Challenge. Donations over $25 will receive a tax receipt.
The money raised in the SAMPS Myeloma Challenge stays in Calgary, facilitates the awareness of Multiple Myeloma in Alberta, helps with advocacy to ensure that our voices are heard in important decisions which impact our lives, and supports the lab at the University of Calgary Division of Hematology Research and Education Fund run by Dr. N. Bahlis and Dr. P. Neri, who specialize in Multiple Myeloma research. That research allows for the development of treatments and the organization of clinical trials which many of us at SAMPS and all Multiple Myeloma patients rely on.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION AND/OR SUPPORT!
