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
Our next Support Group Meeting will be on Saturday, September 5th, 2026, at Holy Spirit Lutheran Church in Edmonton from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.
There will be no Support Group Meetings in July or August.
MULTIPLE MILES FOR MYELOMA 2026
Under sunny skies at Hermitage Park on Saturday, July 18, 298 participants and countless supporters came together for the 2026 Multiple Miles for Myeloma (MM4M) 5K/10K Walk/Run. After last year's rainy event, the beautiful weather was a welcome bonus, helping make the day an enjoyable celebration of community, hope, and determination.
MM4M is the Myeloma Alberta Support Society's (MASS) annual fundraiser supporting multiple myeloma research at the Cross Cancer Institute. Since the event began in 2010, more than $2.3 million has been raised to fund research that has contributed to new treatments and improved outcomes for patients living with multiple myeloma.
This year's event was another tremendous success. Thanks to the generosity of participants, sponsors, donors, and volunteers, more than $69,000 was raised for research, with 100% of funds raised going directly to the Cross Cancer Institute to support groundbreaking myeloma research.
A heartfelt thank you goes out to our incredible volunteers. Whether returning year after year or volunteering for the first time, your commitment, flexibility, and willingness to step into multiple roles ensured the event ran smoothly. MM4M simply would not be possible without your dedication.
We are also deeply grateful to our generous sponsors. A special thank you to Nova Hotels for providing lunch for all participants, to Dairy Queen for donating 300 Dilly Bars, and to our many sponsors who support the walk, allowing all the money raised to go towards Multiple Myeloma research. We also sincerely appreciate the support of Coronation Dental, R&D Trailer Rentals, National Bank Financial, Angus Watt Advisory Group, Western Moving & Storage, WCI, Running Room, R & D Trailer Rental, Cob’s Bread, Eh! Royal Flush, and the University of Alberta.
Congratulations to all of our fundraising teams, whose efforts continue to drive important research forward. This year's top fundraising teams were:
Team DES – $15,259
Ted's Team – $12,489
Brian's Elite Force – $7,870
Bad to the Bone – $7,114
Chiu Family – $5,575
Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, volunteered, and supported MM4M 2026. Together, you are making a real difference for patients and families affected by multiple myeloma.
Mark your calendars now for the 2027 Multiple Miles for Myeloma on Saturday, July 17, 2027. We look forward to seeing you there!
