Multiple Myeloma Fundraising Trek

So this is the deal.  I've been doing battle with this disease for 5 years now.  I'm a firm believer in making lemonade from lemons, so what did I do?  I signed up for MMRF fundraising treks.  2 years ago my wife trekked throughout Patagonia and raised $30,000, with every penny going towards funding research for a cure.  Pharmaceutical companies cover the costs associated with the trip.

This year, I'm off to Alaska and hoping to raise another $30,000.  If you are like me, or know someone with Multiple Myeloma, I have two suggestions for you, (a) click the link to my fundraising page and please contribute, and/or (b) look into participating in a MMRF fundraising excursion.  I promise, you'll feel much better about your situation.

@Courtney_J All well and good, but let's not lose focus of what I am trying to accomplish.  I am trying to raise money, donations, all which will go towards finding a cure for that which ails most of us!!  Can I count on at least some of you??

Donate here (please?):
