Team Lorraine is back and stronger than ever in our 14th year of walking to raise funds for Multiple Myeloma research via The Molly & David Bloom Chair at The Princess Margaret Cancer Centre. We are committed to raising awareness and bringing hope to Multiple Myeloma patients and their families. Join us virtually on Sunday, September 11, 2022 or sponsor our team.
Our founder, Lorraine McCallum, has been living with cancer for over 14 years. She completed her second round of treatment for Multiple Myeloma in the past year. Treatment was expected to begin in spring 2020 but was delayed due to COVID-19. The doctors at Princess Margaret Hospital continued to monitor her closely, and started Lorriane on chemotherapy last summer, followed by a stem cell transplant in October, several months of recovery and she is back to work now. The medical team says that she is progressing well and that the goal is to get Lorraine into remission again, as they continue researching and developing a cure. The research is advancing quickly and they are hopeful that they will find a cure for multiple myeloma in our lifetime. That is very encouraging!!
Multiple Myeloma, a cancer of the plasma cells, remains incurable but is now very treatable thanks to the research and development of new drug treatments made possible by the generosity of our supporters. If you are unable to participate in our walk, we appreciate any and all donations made to support our cause. Lorraine’s life truly depends on continued research. Together, we can make a difference.
