Joining the multiple myeloma community in establishing strong bonds and gaining an appreciation for the multiple myeloma patient journey.
What does your training regimen for this event look like?

Who/what inspires you?
I find that cancer patients are some of the most determined and strong minded individuals I have ever met. Their ability to stay positive and maintain a healthy routine is an inspiration.

No, I have only observed the events from a distance.
