Today marks the start of Myeloma Awareness Week, shining a light on a type of blood cancer that is still not widely understood.

Today would have been our founders birthday.

Birthdays and special occasions can be difficult when you are missing a loved one. Despite this, we thought it would be an opportunity to remember the amazing work Jen did for the cancer community and the legacy she left behind.

Thank you, Jen. You are dearly missed. 💛
