Powerful Thinking Advances The Cure

Power To Make The Difference

We are Team Hoagie and we're running the Chicago Marathon on October 9, 2011 as part of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) PowerTeam. To learn more about our team visit http://fittingintothewindycity.com/team-hoagie/.

Multiple Myeloma is a type of blood cancer. The mission of the MMRF is to relentlessly pursue innovative means that accelerate the development of next generation Multiple Myeloma treatments for patients and lead to a cure.

Team Hoagie is a group of awesome, first time marathoners dedicated to running towards a cure. It's inspiration began when Mike's mom was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in December 2010. As she continues to fight this disease, our team will continue to fight to raise money to benefit cancer research to help cure multiple myeloma.

Since its inception in 1998, the MMRF has raised more than $165 million, making it the world's leading private funder of myeloma research to deliver new treatments to patients faster. The work of the MMRF contributed to the FDA approval of four drugs for multiple myeloma in just four years – a track record unparalleled in oncology. Due to their success in myeloma, these same drugs are now being explored as potential treatments for more than 30 other cancers.

Led by Founder and CEO Kathy Giusti, a multiple myeloma patient and Harvard MBA, the MMRF is one of the most highly regarded cancer foundations in the world, well known for its innovative and results-oriented business model approach to funding cancer research.

Please support our participation in the Chicago Marathon benefiting the MMRF! Your donation can help make the difference! We've received such positive feedback and have surpassed our initial goal of $10,000. Due to the generosity of so many, we are setting our sights on a new goal of raising $20,000 to fund even more research than we thought we could - and you can make the difference. Every little bit helps on the road to finding a cure!
