Since 2001, the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation’s family-friendly 5K walk/run program has raised both awareness and funds to support urgent multiple myeloma research. Today, the series is held annually in thirteen cities and participation offers hope, camaraderie and knowledge sharing within our myeloma community and beyond.
We’ll be at Montrose Harbor on Sunday, September 15th, and need your help in making this year’s event a great day for our patients as well as their friends and family members! Volunteers can assist in a variety of ways, serving as part of the Welcome Team, Course Team, Festival Team or Flex Team. Volunteers will also receive a free t-shirt on the day of the race!
Groups welcome!

Mission Statement
The MMRF relentlessly pursues innovations to find a cure for all multiple myeloma patients and accelerate the development of precision treatments for cancer.
Description
The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) was established in 1998 by Kathy Giusti, a multiple myeloma patient, and her twin sister Karen Andrews. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the MMRF has created the business model around cancer-from data to analytics to the clinic. The MMRF identifies barriers and then finds the solutions to overcome them, bringing in the best partners and aligning incentives in the industry to drive better outcomes for patients. Since its inception, the organization has collected thousands of samples and tissues, opened nearly 100 trials, helped bring 11 FDA-approved therapies to market, and built CoMMpass, the single largest genomic dataset for any cancer. Today, the MMRF is building on its legacy in genomics and is expanding into immune-oncology, as the combination of these two fields will be critical to making precision medicine possible for all patients. The MMRF has raised nearly $500 million and directs nearly 90% of the total funds to research and related programs.
