PHILADELPHIA, April 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Annual Miles for Myeloma Hybrid 5K Run/Walk will once again “Redefine Being Together” on Saturday, April 29, virtually and in-person at FDR Park in Philadelphia, PA — with the common goal of finding a cure for multiple myeloma.
For the past 14 years, this 5K Run/Walk has made an important impact in the myeloma community—funding ten Brian D. Novis Research Grants through the years since its inception. The goal is to raise $80,000 this year to fund one of the International Myeloma Foundation’s (IMF) Senior Brian D. Novis Grants in 2024.
IMF Associate Director of Distinguished Events Ilana Kenville is the organizer and producer for Miles for Myeloma.
“Each year I meet the most inspirational people that attend this race. It’s such a powerful thing to have so many like-minded people in one place, all with the same goal of supporting each other. Each mile we run together inspires us all to keep fighting to find the cure for multiple myeloma,” shares Ilana.
The 15th Annual Miles for Myeloma Hybrid 5K Run/Walk will be held on Saturday, April 29, 2023, in-person in a safe environment at FDR Park in Philadelphia, PA. This year will still be a HYBRID race and participants still have the option to join virtually or in-person. The race starts at 8:00 a.m., with in-person registration opening at 6:45 a.m.
