STUDIO CITY, Calif., March 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Myeloma Action Month is an annual global awareness campaign that takes place every March to raise awareness and inspire action for multiple myeloma—a blood cancer that affects over 176,404 people every year, around the world.

This year, the International Myeloma Foundation invites YOU to share your personal #MyelomaMilestone and be empowered in our collective fight against multiple myeloma.
Whether it is a significant treatment breakthrough, overcoming a tough challenge, traveling to a long-awaited destination, learning a new skill, or simply enjoying a precious moment with loved ones—every milestone, big or small, is worth celebrating.
Through collaboration, advocacy, and education, Myeloma Action Month helps inform the public and empower individuals affected by myeloma. Together, we work toward better treatments, enhanced patient outcomes, and eventually, a cure.
2025: A Year of Milestones for the IMF
For MAM 2025, the IMF is celebrating progress, resilience, and hope through the #MyelomaMilestone campaign.
The IMF will be celebrating a major milestone this year: its 35th anniversary in October, and more years of inching closer to our vision: “A world where every myeloma patient can live life to the fullest, unburdened by the disease.”
“Myeloma Action Month is a powerful global movement that brings the myeloma community together to take action and raise awareness. This year, in conjunction with the IMF’s 35th Anniversary, we invite individuals to share their most meaningful myeloma milestones—celebrating resilience, strengthening connections, and inspiring hope. Myeloma has no borders, and together, we will make a global impact, as we march toward a cure,” said IMF Vice President of Marketing Peter Anton.
Why Every #MyelomaMilestone Counts
Every milestone your share helps raise awareness and creates positive change in the fight against myeloma. Here are the reasons why your milestones matter:
- They can help health workers recognize myeloma symptoms earlier, leading to faster diagnoses and better treatment outcomes for others.
- Each milestone shared spreads critical information about myeloma to broader communities, helping healthcare providers and the public identify the disease sooner, which can save lives and improve treatment options.
- You help connect myeloma patients, care partners, and families with the reputable resources and support they need to navigate their journey.
- Milestones can drive advocacy efforts, encouraging policymakers to prioritize myeloma research, improve patient access to care, and ensure equitable treatment options for all. Together, we can push for policies that support myeloma patients and their families.
- Every milestone you share contributes to fueling breakthroughs in myeloma research. As awareness grows, so does the momentum for discovering new treatments and ultimately working toward a cure.
