The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation
The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation was founded in 1998 by twin sisters Kathy Giusti and Karen Andrews after Kathy was diagnosed with the disease. There are currently more than 50,000 people living in the U.S. who suffer from multiple myeloma, a terminal cancer of the plasma cell. With the objective of funding research for the development of new treatments, the MMRF has received numerous highly-respected awards, including a "Best of America" Seal of Excellence from the Independent Charities of America. After raising over $85 million to fund 70 laboratories all over the world, the Foundation is the world's primary private funder of myeloma research.
