International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) Launches #MYelomaSTORY Campaign for Myeloma Action Month in March 2023

STUDIO CITY, Calif., Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- With the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) at the forefront, Myeloma Action Month is held every year for the whole month of March to encourage individuals and groups to take actions that positively impact the myeloma community. This year the IMF invites YOU to take the action of storytelling.

</p> <p>Stories evoke empathy and foster hope. They help us better understand ourselves and others. The IMF will engage the global myeloma community by sharing stories about members of the myeloma community who live well with myeloma and by prompting others to share their stories.</p> <p>Yelak Biru, President and CEO of the IMF and a 27-year myeloma survivor, shares his story to inspire others to do the same: “As a young immigrant from Ethiopia, a new husband, and graduate student, I learned I had multiple myeloma at the age of 26. While the road of living with myeloma has not always been smooth, it has been paved with many valuable lessons along the way. One of those lessons is that <strong>we must learn to live with, and not for, myeloma</strong>. This Myeloma Action Month, I ask you – as patients, care partners, and anyone who has been touched by this incurable disease – to share how you live well and not for myeloma.” Biru’s call to action is just one example of the many ways the IMF will prompt individuals and groups to share their stories on social media with the hashtag #MYelomaSTORY.</p> <p>Help the IMF spread myeloma awareness on a global scale by using the hashtag <strong>#MYelomaSTORY</strong>, on all social media channels — Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Using the #MYelomaSTORY hashtag, all related posts will be displayed on the IMF’s digital “Wall of Stories” at the Myeloma Action Month website: <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=V28FR2iFDQcvm6FN6kXULtifXZTS0UVj-_dfV0oumqSJ8a-bTjTaRzSoRqUAYC9hVnOf5QOXJnMT3PaMnjH9OA==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>mam.myeloma.org.</u></a></p> <p><strong>How can you get involved in Myeloma Action Month? </strong></p> <p><strong><u>Take Action</u></strong></p> <ul><li>Join the movement and take action for myeloma by using the <strong>MAM website photo uploader</strong> in <a href="https://mam.myeloma.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><u>mam.myeloma.org</u></a>.

A cancerous or malignant plasma cell is called a myeloma cell. Myeloma is called “multiple” because there are frequently multiple patches or areas in bone where it grows. It can appear as both a tumor and/or an area of bone loss, and it affects the places where bone marrow is active in an adult: the hollow area within the bones of the spine, skull, pelvis, rib cage, and the areas around the shoulders and hips.</p> <p><strong>ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL MYELOMA FOUNDATION</strong><br/>Founded in 1990, the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) is the first and largest global foundation focusing specifically on multiple myeloma. The Foundation’s reach extends to more than 525,000 members in 140 countries worldwide. The IMF is dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure by focusing on four key areas: research, education, support, and advocacy. The IMF has conducted more than 250 educational seminars worldwide, maintains a world-renowned InfoLine, and in 2001, established the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG), a collaborative research initiative focused on improving myeloma treatment options for patients. In 2012, the IMF launched the Black Swan Research Initiative®, a groundbreaking research project aimed at curing myeloma. The IMF can be reached at (800) 452-CURE (2873).

While the road of living with myeloma has not always been smooth, it has been paved with many valuable lessons along the way. One of those lessons is that \u003cstrong\u003ewe must learn to live with, and not for, myeloma\u003c/strong\u003e. This Myeloma Action Month, I ask you – as patients, care partners, and anyone who has been touched by this incurable disease – to share how you live well and not for myeloma.” Biru’s call to action is just one example of the many ways the IMF will prompt individuals and groups to share their stories on social media with the hashtag #MYelomaSTORY.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHelp the IMF spread myeloma awareness on a global scale by using the hashtag \u003cstrong\u003e#MYelomaSTORY\u003c/strong\u003e, on all social media channels — Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

A cancerous or malignant plasma cell is called a myeloma cell. Myeloma is called “multiple” because there are frequently multiple patches or areas in bone where it grows. It can appear as both a tumor and/or an area of bone loss, and it affects the places where bone marrow is active in an adult: the hollow area within the bones of the spine, skull, pelvis, rib cage, and the areas around the shoulders and hips.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL MYELOMA FOUNDATION\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr/\u003eFounded in 1990, the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) is the first and largest global foundation focusing specifically on multiple myeloma. The Foundation’s reach extends to more than 525,000 members in 140 countries worldwide. The IMF is dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure by focusing on four key areas: research, education, support, and advocacy. The IMF has conducted more than 250 educational seminars worldwide, maintains a world-renowned InfoLine, and in 2001, established the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG), a collaborative research initiative focused on improving myeloma treatment options for patients. In 2012, the IMF launched the Black Swan Research Initiative®, a groundbreaking research project aimed at curing myeloma. The IMF can be reached at (800) 452-CURE (2873).

This Myeloma Action Month, I ask you – as patients, care partners, and anyone who has been touched by this incurable disease – to share how you live well and not for myeloma.” Biru’s call to action is just one example of the many ways the IMF will prompt individuals and groups to share their stories on social media with the hashtag #MYelomaSTORY.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHelp the IMF spread myeloma awareness on a global scale by using the hashtag \u003cstrong\u003e#MYelomaSTORY\u003c/strong\u003e, on all social media channels — Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

A cancerous or malignant plasma cell is called a myeloma cell. Myeloma is called “multiple” because there are frequently multiple patches or areas in bone where it grows. It can appear as both a tumor and/or an area of bone loss, and it affects the places where bone marrow is active in an adult: the hollow area within the bones of the spine, skull, pelvis, rib cage, and the areas around the shoulders and hips.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL MYELOMA FOUNDATION\u003c/strong\u003e\u003cbr/\u003eFounded in 1990, the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) is the first and largest global foundation focusing specifically on multiple myeloma.
