SAMPS Virtual Challenge, July 18-24

The SAMPS Myeloma Challenge will be virtual again this year, so that we can all stay connected!

You will be able to set your own personal challenge again to help raise funds and awareness to beat Myeloma. You choose what a challenge meaningful to you – something unique that you can do at your own pace whatever the stage of your personal Myeloma journey.

We can all take inspiration from the late Captain Sir Tom Moore of Britain who, at 100 years of age, successfully raised £32,000,000 (GBP) by walking around his back yard with the aid of a walker. Whether your challenge is to 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!

By participating, we all make Myeloma matter. The more people who participate, the more money we can raise for Myeloma-specialized research. You will be helping to raise money to bring us all closer to a cure. The money raised in the SAMPS Myeloma Challenge stays in Calgary, facilitates the awareness of Myeloma in Southern Alberta, and supports the University of Calgary Division of Hematology Research and Education Fund, which specializes in Multiple Myeloma research. This allows the development of new clinical trials for Myeloma and Myeloma research in Calgary which many of our SAMPS members rely on.
