Registration is Now Open. Program Begins March 1.

Fitness matters to everyone, but it is especially important for myeloma patients.  The number of their treatment options depend a great deal on levels of fitness—Fit, Unfit or Frail—regardless of age.  The more fit patients are, the more they are able to tolerate therapies which leads to better, longer lasting outcomes. Join Muscles for Myeloma to get fit this year and raise funds to support ground-breaking research at YOUR multiple myeloma center.
