The Ottawa/Gatineau Myeloma Walk – Steps to a Cure is scheduled for Sunday, September 24, 2023 at 1 pm at the Ron Kolbus Lakeside Centre at Britannia Beach. Funds raised at our event are divided between Myeloma Canada and The Ottawa Hospital for myeloma research.
This year’s event will be an in-person event. While not mandatory, participants are encouraged to wear masks if they wish to do so. We also realize that some participants may still choose to continue to do a virtual walk as has happened over the past two years.
Registration for the walk is open on the Myeloma Canada website and you can make a donation as an individual or as part of a team at the link below and copies of the posters for the event are also attached.:
We are also seeking sponsors for the event from the business community. Should you know of any sponsors who would like to participate in this worthy cause, please let us know.
As we prepare for the walk we are in need of volunteers to help with a number of different activities. These include:
– Event Day Registration
– 50/50 ticket sales
– Security
– First Aid
– Music
– Set-up & Take-Down
If you are interested in helping with the event organization, please contact Glenn Hussey at 613-884-7783 or Frank Shepherd at 613-726-2912. We will arrange a Zoom call for volunteers later this month or in the first week of August.
Thank you in advance for your continued support and assistance of this important fundraiser in support of clinical research in our myeloma community.
