The Summer 2017 issue of Myeloma Minutes, published by the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF), features an article describing our Miles for Myeloma 5K fundraiser. The 2017 Miles for Myeloma 5K raised nearly $100,000 for the IMF. 2017 marked the ninth year we've held the Miles for Myeloma fundraiser.

The International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) has announced that proceeds raised by PMMNG's 2016 Miles for Myeloma fundraiser will be awarded to the Italian multiple myeloma researcher, Nicola Giuliani, to support his research on bone disease related to multiple myeloma.

The PMMNG's 10th annual Miles for Myeloma 5K Walk/Run was held on Saturday April 28, 2018 in Philadelphia. For the first time in several years, the weather cooperated, and we had a perfect day for the event. Myeloma patients, caregivers, friends, and family members came out to support one another and to raise money to go to research toward finding a cure for multiple myeloma. Together, we raised over $74,000!
