- The Walk for Waldenstrom's -
Join us for the Walk for Waldenstrom’s 2022, Sunday, September 18th at 10:00am (ET).
 
This is YOUR opportunity to raise awareness and support for the International Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia Foundation (IWMF).
 
What is the Walk for Waldenstrom’s?
Walk for Waldenstrom’s is a 1-mile walk/run fundraising and awareness event for the IWMF and global WM community of care partners, friends, and family.
 
There’s no registration fee or charge!
 
 
Join the Walk for Waldenstrom’s from anywhere in the world.
We make it easy… Walk in a park, on the beach, in your neighborhood (bring the dog), from the comfort of your own home, or walk on the treadmill. 
 
Don’t want to walk? No problem! 
Pick any activity you enjoy… Pickleball, bridge, even reading a book. 
You will be further participating by asking your friends and family to join in the Walk for Waldenstrom’s.
 
Because WM is a rare and little-known disease, please spread the word by sharing YOUR story, explaining what WM is and, by asking everyone you know to support IWMF.
 
To get started, create your very own fundraising page, and reach out to your friends and family for support.
Don’t know how to create your page… We can help!
Just email Donna Cutillo at dcutillo@iwmf.com, she will walk you through it.
 
Funds raised from the Walk for Waldenstrom’s will make a very real difference to the WM community around the globe – these funds support vital WM research, the creation of IWMF publications and literature, and allow IWMF to continue offering free resources, education, and materials to everyone living with WM.
 
In appreciation of you joining the Walk for Waldenstrom’s to raise funds and increase awareness about WM, we offer the following incentives toward sending you or someone you care about to a future IWMF Educational Forum:
