Word from our CEO
"Every year, I look forward to March. Not just because March is one of the most important months in the Canadian myeloma calendar, a time when our entire community comes together with shared purpose, but because it never fails to remind me why this work matters."

Action transforms hope into time.
Myeloma Action Month reminded us of the power of awareness, but true impact comes from action.
Action can start with a simple but powerful step: making a donation. Your generosity gives Canadians living with myeloma more time to access new treatments, more time to benefit from cutting-edge research, and more time to create memories and live life to the fullest.
