Road to Victories

Kathy Padlick Patient Family

How did you get involved with the MMRF?

I got involved with the MMRF because my mom has multiple myeloma. I am a registered nurse and have seen how the multiple myeloma research foundation has made great strides in finding a cure.

What do you want people to know about multiple myeloma?

Anyone can get multiple myeloma; however, it’s a cancer that is also a very treatable disease if it’s found early. I know this because my mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma 7 years ago and is still getting treatment and responding well!

Why is participating in the MMRF Road to Victories ride important to you?

Participation in this event is important to me because I want to help find a cure.

What does your training regimen for this event look like?

I live in the Finger Lakes, and my training includes riding around Conesus Lake and in that area with my husband, Jeff, who is also on this team. The lake terrain has many hills and is very challenging!

Have you participated in previous MMRF events? If so, which/when?

I have participated in many other fundraising events with different organizations, but none for the MMRF until now.
