Earlier this year, I joined Myeloma Canada’s Patient Advisory Council as an Ontario representative, and also started the first York Region Myeloma Support Group this spring. In the last year, I launched a Facebook Group called Multiple Myeloma: Stories of Hope and Inspiration, which has seen huge success in having members share their positive myeloma journeys, providing constant reminders of hope for new and long-time myeloma patients.

I’m passionate about spreading myeloma awareness and raising funds for research. Last month on Mother’s Day (my 2-year cancer anniversary) I was featured in the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation summer cottage lottery campaign, which I’d like to share with you today!
