Story
This February, I am taking part in the first ever 3.8 With A Mate to raise funds and awareness for Myeloma Australia. Every week 38 more Australians will be diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, an incurable blood cancer. In the last week of May 2021, I became one of those 38 Australians.
Myeloma Australia is the only Australian myeloma specific not-for-profit organisation. We support, educate, inform, empower and bring hope to people who are living with myeloma, and their loved ones. We also facilitate myeloma research in Australia; educate health professionals involved in the care and treatment of those living with myeloma; raise community awareness and understanding of myeloma; and advocate for improved patient access to the latest treatments at affordable prices.
