Team #Thankful

Multiple Miles for Myeloma 2019 is just over a month away.   Once again, a team of people has come together to walk/run in this 5k/10k event.  This year's team, as we did last year, will go under the name #Thankful.  This name is even more appropriate now than it was last year when we participated only a month after I finally got out of hospital and began chemotherapy.  Since then, we are thankful for God's faithfulness seen in the support of so many people.  We are thankful for the knowledge of doctors and pharmaceutical researchers.  We are thankful for effective chemo treatments and a successful stem cell transplant.  We are thankful for access to leading edge chemo maintenance drugs.  We are thankful to be in remission.  We are #Thankful....

Many of these things could not have happened without research into myeloma.  Doctors that have helped me this past year are directly involved in that research through the University of Alberta.  Team #Thankful is participating in MM4M 2019 on July 20 to raise money for the efforts of these Edmonton doctors and others.  Our experience this past year is that multiple myeloma can be treated, but we also know that at this time there is no cure.  Better treatments and eventually a cure will only come through research.

Team #Thankful this year will be made up of:
Brian Doornenbal
Kathy Doornenbal
Mikiah Folkerts
Oliver Folkerts
Jeremy Dreise
Heather Dreise
Vincent Dreise
Lukas Dreise
Mason Dreise
Theo Dreise
Linda Mywaart
Martin Mywaart
