Word from our CEO
From the day Myeloma Canada was founded in 2005, our co-founder Aldo Del Col understood that advocacy was deeply important. He used to say, “If patients are not at the table, they are on the menu.” Over the past 20 years, we have continued his vision and use advocacy to ensure the voices of Canadians impacted by myeloma are heard clearly, respectfully, and consistently by those shaping healthcare decisions.

Spotlight on Marie-Claude Houle Beausoleil
At 35, I was working at a school for the Commission scolaire de Saint-Hyacinthe. For what felt like a long time, I was constantly tired and suffering from pain in my sternum. Just to get through each day, I took pain medication. I didn't understand what was happening to me, but I had a deep sense that something was wrong.
