| Our
daughter, Sarah, was diagnosed with multiple
myeloma, a form of blood cancer, in 2005 at
the age of 22. This was a world that none of
us was familiar with, and it was a frightening
time. Fortunately, Sarah responded well to
her treatment and is currently in remission. |
| |
| But
remission is not a cure, and there is a high
rate of recurrence. The good news is that research
is advancing treatments rapidly and there are
exciting research possibilities. Just since
2005, survival rates have doubled from
2-4 years to 4-10 years. The next generation
of treatments is in development, but funding
is desperately needed to move those treatments
through the research stage and make them available
to patients. |
| |
So,
Sarah, her sister Jessica, and many other caring
family members and friends joined us in creating MMORE,
a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation dedicated
to raising awareness and raising funds through
fun and inspiring community events.
Our mission — our deep
commitment — is to support multiple myeloma research
to discover new life-prolonging treatments, improve
quality of life for myeloma patients, and ultimately
to find a cure, not just for Sarah but for all multiple
myeloma patients. |

| Support MMORE |
promising
research projects to increase the probability
of finding a cure
and improve quality of life for those diagnosed
with multiple myeloma. |
| Inspire MMORE |
by
establishing community events to raise public
awareness of multiple myeloma. |
| Create MMORE |
opportunities
across the country to increase funding for
medical research
to find a cure for multiple myeloma. |
| Connect MMORE |
patients,
survivors, their families and friends with
others who
have been affected by the diagnosis of multiple
myeloma. |
