On Wednesday 2nd September we lost a beloved Husband, Dad, Grandad and Great-Grandad.

Dad was diagnosed with Myeloma in the last few years and with excellent medical supervision and treatment he was still able to lead a pretty much normal life. 

Myeloma, also known as multiple myeloma, is a blood cancer arising from plasma cells. At any one time there are around 24,000 people living with myeloma in the UK. It accounts for 15 per cent of blood cancers, and two per cent of all cancers. Myeloma mainly affects those over the age of 65, however it has been diagnosed in people much younger.

On average 15 people are diagnosed with myeloma every day in the UK  and Myeloma UK is the only dedicated funder of myeloma research in the UK with an ongoing commitment to invest in ground-breaking research.
