This year’s Ottawa-Gatineau Multiple Myeloma Walk is scheduled for Sunday, September 22, 2019 at the Ron Kolbus Centre, Britannia Park, Ottawa. Registration opens at noon, with the walk starting at 1 pm.
Come early to place a bid on the silent auction items, and to pick up your 50/50 tickets. Opening ceremonies start at 12:40pm with guest speakers including Dr. Arleigh McCurdy from the Myeloma Team of the Ottawa Hospital, Dr. Karim Abou-Nassar from the Oncology Team of the Gatineau Hospital, and Mayor Jim Watson from the City of Ottawa.
