Congratulations to our latest highlighted volunteer, Bronagh! 🧡
Following her myeloma diagnosis in 2023, Bronagh decided to join the Advocacy Partner Panel to understand patient advocacy better, building on her career as a registered nurse.
Bronagh lives in Northern Ireland and has been keen to set up a local support group for people with myeloma there. In 2025, she connected with other patients, and with support from Myeloma UK, they held an event and drop-in session at Stormont.
We spoke to Bronagh about her involvement with us at Myeloma UK, and she said:
“Volunteering with Myeloma UK has given me a purpose. I could have been caught up by my diagnosis and found it even harder than I did, but the clarity of information from Myeloma UK stopped that from happening. I was open to being a volunteer because of the help that I received as a patient. I wanted to give back to the organisation that had supported me, and I continue to enjoy the volunteering opportunities available.”
Thank you so much to Bronagh for being our highlighted volunteer! Read more of her story via the link in the comments.
