Hello everyone
Myeloma UK receives no government funding and relies almost entirely on donations and fundraising activities from the myeloma community. Without this support, we would not be able to provide the information and support we do nor would we be able to fund important research.
Every year, our supporters rise to the challenge and go above and beyond the call of duty to raise funds and awareness. As we look towards our goals for 2011 and beyond, our need for your support is becoming increasingly important.
Here are a few ways that you and everybody you know can raise money to support Myeloma UK in 2011.
? Dress Down Day on Friday 25 March 2011
Hold a Dress Down Day – it?s a fun and easy way to raise funds. http://www.myeloma.org.uk/DDD
? May is Mile4Myeloma Month
Everyone can take part in a Mile4Myeloma whether they?re a patient, friend, colleague or family member and they can do their mile or miles any way they want ? run, ski, swim ? the list is almost endless. http://www.myeloma.org.uk/M4M
? Forth Road Bridge Abseil on Sunday 8 May
Get a friend or family member to make a 165ft free-fall abseil from this spectacular bridge ? one of the architectural wonders of the world.
