WM Community Corner

Don Brown (right), IWMF Support Group Leader and LIFELINE Volunteer, attended the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference in Chicago, Illinois. Don represented the IWMF and partnered with The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) as a 2023 ASCO exhibitor. Shown with Don is Alexandra Folleco, NORD Membership Associate. Don shared regarding his experience at ASCO that he was "impressed by the size of the ASCO Annual Meeting and how NORD brings a great umbrella-like focus on rare diseases like WM."

The IWMF website calendar is updated regularly with upcoming IWMF Support & Specialty Topic Groups, International Affiliate Meetings, and IWMF Partner Meetings. Check out what's on the horizon HERE!
