Dear Friends,

A cancer diagnosis is a life-altering event. When that diagnosis is Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia (WM)—a disease you’ve likely never heard of and can barely pronounce—it becomes even more daunting. WM is a rare, currently incurable cancer, with fewer than 1,500 new cases each year in the United States. For many community oncologists, encountering even one WM patient in their entire career is a rarity. This is where the International Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia Foundation (IWMF) plays a crucial role.

The IWMF has been a beacon of hope and support for WM patients, caregivers, and families. Since 2000, they have invested over $23 million in research aimed at understanding WM and finding a cure. Their mission is clear: to support and educate everyone affected by WM. The foundation provides essential resources, guidance, and community to those navigating the challenges of this rare disease.

Now, the IWMF needs our help.

This September, people from around the world will unite to raise awareness and support through IWMF’s Walk for Waldenstrom’s 2024—a 1-mile run/walk or any activity. Whether you are a patient, caregiver, friend, or family member, the IWMF and WM community invite you to be a part of the Walk for Waldenstrom’s.

Your participation and donations during the Walk for Waldenstrom’s 2024 will have a profound impact on the IWMF's ability to serve patients globally. Every gift, no matter the size, brings us closer to a cure and enhances the quality of life for those affected by WM. Please join me in supporting an organization that is so close to my heart.

Your support can change lives. Let’s walk together, raise awareness, and bring hope to those affected by WM.

Thank you very much!
