International Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia Foundation

International Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinemia Foundation WM is usually an indolent and chronic disease that is treatable, but not yet curable.

The International Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia Foundation (IWMF) is a patient-founded and patient-driven, nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support and education to everyone affected by WM while advancing the search for a cure. Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia is a rare form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, whereby the patients usually experience an infiltration of lymphoplasmacytic (cancer) cells in the bone marow. Approximately 1,500 new cases of WM are diagnosed each year in the US, and about 3,000 worldwide. The median age of diagnosis is 63 years, although some have been diagnosed as early as 19 and as late as 85. Average life expectancy is 11.5 years, although recent improvments in treatment options are providing a more promsing future for patients.

Every gift reflects a community coming together to move WM research forward. Thank you for giving WM research the momentum it needs. The campaign may be over, but the discoveries and the hope continue.

🌍 IWMF at the Lymphoma Coalition 2026 Global Summit

In Dublin 🇮🇪, Hannah Mobarak, IWMF’s Director of Global Partnerships, is attending the Lymphoma Coalition Global Summit alongside Peter Liburdi DeNardis, Chair Emeritus of IWMF and current Lymphoma Coalition Board Member.

Together with patient advocacy organizations from around the world, they are sharing best practices, learning from one another, and exploring ways to address challenges facing people affected by lymphoma globally.

They are also amplifying the voices of the Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) community, raising awareness of WM and highlighting the unique challenges faced by people living with WM in countries around the world.

As part of the Summit, Hannah presented the results of a breakout session she participated in, “Pathways for Diagnosis: What Needs to Change.”

We’re so proud to have Hannah representing IWMF on the global stage. Her passion, commitment, and dedication to the WM community are truly inspiring. 🌍
