Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation - Events

Ahead of the MMRF Walk/Run in the Twin Cities is this weekend, we'd like to introduce you to Mary C., our Spirit of Hope Awardee. A microbiologist and avid runner, Mary was diagnosed with high-risk multiple myeloma in 2018. Through treatment and recovery, she found strength in staying active and supporting the MMRF. Her mantra is simple: keep moving. "Every time I am feeling low or not my best, I just keep telling myself to keep moving,” Mary says. “I tell myself that if I can just keep moving, nothing can catch up with me."

Ahead of the MMRF Walk/Run in Chicago this weekend, we'd like to introduce you to Pam W., the Torrance Campbell Spirit of Hope awardee.

Since being diagnosed with high-risk multiple myeloma in 2021, Pam has faced every challenge — CAR T-Cell Therapy, two stem cell transplants, chemotherapy, and radiation — with incredible grace and grit. Her mission is to build community, raise awareness, and help fund the future of myeloma research.

Pam and her team, Worth the Trek, have raised an astonishing $100,000 and counting 🎉

“I never thought I’d be capable of running a marathon after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2023. With the support of the MMRF—and gratitude for what my body has shown it can do—I’m taking on the 2025 Bank of America Chicago Marathon with Team for Cures. After the lowest of lows, I’m now chasing those unimaginable highs and proving life doesn’t stop at diagnosis.” – .ontherun
