Dear Friends and Family,
We want to bring some notice to the fact that all over Canada this coming weekend (Sunday, October 16th) patients and supporters will be walking or running 5 kilometers to raise awareness of Myeloma and money for research. Joni and I are doing the same thing here at home. This will be the first Myeloma March in Lanark County and perhaps the first of many to come.
I’ve written about the current research and how effective it has been in the last 3 or 4 years. In the few weeks since my diagnosis I’ve done little but read everything I can about Myeloma, especially reviewing the trial results of the last few years. They’ve virtually doubled the opportunities for life.
The results are impressive and for me they are personal.
I have my own interest to serve – can’t deny it! But I feel an obligation to the other 7,000 Myeloma Canadians to promote this cause. As David Bloom put it to me: It’s the only thing that will save us all.
If you would like to help please visit the support page Joni and I have set up under the Myeloma Canada umbrella. Just click this link:

THANKS !
Sunday, October 16th, 1:00 pm: Our walk leaves from the bridge over the Mississippi River on Highway 511 and goes 5 kilometers to the Community Health Centre in the Village of Lanark. We’ll be joined by Aden, Howie and our grandson Ivan, our wonderful friend and supporter Peter Nelson and anyone else who might show up.
