MYELOMA ALBERTA SUPPORT SOCIETY
WELCOME TO MYELOMA ALBERTA SUPPORT SOCIETY
We are a non-profit charitable organization formed and run by people living with myeloma and their supporters. Our purpose is to provide support to people living with myeloma, their caregivers, family and friends, as they deal with diagnosis and treatment.
We organize monthly meetings as well as educational events which provide fellowship, peer support, and information for all of us sharing a similar cancer experience.
UPCOMING MEETINGS
There will be no Support Group meetings for July or August.
Our next Support Group meeting will be on Saturday September 6th, 2025.
MULTIPLE MILES FOR MYELOMA 2025
Thank you to everyone who supported Multiple Miles for Myeloma 2025. The steady rainfall did not dampen spirits, 304 participants, 51 volunteers, organizers and many friends and family members showed up with umbrellas and gum boots to make this year’s event another success.
We extend our gratitude to our generous sponsors: Nova Hotels, Whyte Communications Inc.-Fleet Services, Angus Watt Advisory Group, Coronation Dental Clinic, Dairy Queen Namao, R&D Trailer Rentals, Western Moving & Storage, Eh! Royal Flush Toilets, Running Room, Cobs Bread Riverbend, and U of A. Our sponsors’ financial support and provision of goods and services ensured that 100% of the money raised can be donated to research at the Cross Cancer Institute.
The support from our sponsors, participants, and volunteers resulted in over $100,000.00 raised, which will significantly contribute to research into Multiple Myeloma and improve the quality of life for many patients in Alberta.
Since Multiple Miles for Myeloma began in 2010, over $1.8 million has been raised and donated to the Cross Cancer Institute. Research has produced new treatments and therapies which have led to a substantial increase in life expectancy for myeloma patients.
