Do you remember last year when myeloma patient Toby and his friend Ben ran an amazing 50km to raise money for Myeloma New Zealand? This year they are doing it again! We’re so incredibly grateful and having been inspired by their amazing effort, we are kicking off Move for Myeloma this November.
Move for Myeloma is a way that you can also support Myeloma New Zealand during the month of November, while doing something that is good for all of us – movement. If a 50km run is not quite your thing, you might want to get out for some walks with family or friends, maybe a bike ride or a shorter run. Even trying some chair exercises is a great way to get moving. You might want to do something one off or throughout the month of November.
You can get involved with Move for Myeloma in a couple of ways:
(1) Create your own fundraiser on Give a Little that links direct to Myeloma NZ, explain what movement you’ll be doing this November and ask family and friends to donate in support. You can keep people updated on the Give a Little page.
To do this, head to our Give a Little page and click the “Fundraise” button. You then create a page for you which links your fundraising to the Myeloma NZ Give a Little page.
(2) Alternatively, you can donate to Toby and Ben’s page which links to Myeloma NZ’s, as a way to thank and acknowledge them for their support, and to give back to Myeloma NZ and provide support for our ongoing work.
If you are going to be in Sydney or Hai Phong on Sunday 16 November, you can also head along and support Toby and Ben in person.
