MT. KILIMANJARO INSPIRATIONAL TRAILBLAZERS



I just received this inspirational video from Mark - a Myeloma friend - and arborist in Seattle with Madison Park Tree 
He has dedicated himself to many amazing fundraising events for Multiple Myeloma research over the years! -- the NYC marathon for the LLS, MoveMMore, thrithalons, etc. and this year Defeat Myeloma. 
He trained for the Kilimanjaro climb but his maintenance meds stopped working and he needed a new trailblazing treatment so he couldn't do the climb in the the end. 

Please watch this video of some amazing folks dedicated to finding a cure for Myeloma. 
I needed tissues at the end..... 


Then when finished viewing, 
please consider donating to or joining my team REMISSION POSSIBLE  
this year on June 25th, when I will be raising funds to support research at 
Seattle SCCA Fred Hutchinson. 


My maintenance meds -- one of which is a brand new therapy- are still working, but it may only be a matter of time that I will be needing something different. 

The 2017 Defeat Myeloma race will provide critical funding that will enable Dr. Damian Green and fellow researchers to open a clinical trial for patients with Multiple Myeloma. 
He has spent years developing a targeted form of immunotherapy that 
delivers radioactive particles directly to myeloma cells! 
They are now in the final stage of the process and anticipate opening the 
clinical trial in the next 12 - 18 months.  
Additional funds are needed to pay for the production of the antibody treatment 
in quantities suitable for human trials. 
Your DEFEAT MYELOMA dollars will go directly to this production effort and will allow patients to receive a completely new treatment approach.

MAY 13TH 2017 PLANT SALE

So after a couple years off for chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant for Multiple Myeloma, I'm back at it, even as I'm still on maintenance therapy in a clinical trial at SCCA.... 
(see info at bottom of list)

What a cold wet Spring!  
Then when we finally get a sunny day the plants get all wilty or sunburned-- good grief! 
I've had to keep the heaters and lights on in the greenhouse but finally, ready or not, it is time for a PLANT SALE!

Saturday 
MAY 13th 10 AM to 3 PM. 
6323 150 pl SW Edmonds 98026

This year a fantastic plant geek, and good friend, Sam Sacharoff 
is joining me with some of his incredible plants on Saturday. 

I hope you can make it, but if not let me know what you may be interested in, or call if you would like to arrange a different time to come by to see my garden and/or check out the plants. 
I can't promise they will all be labeled, signed and ready until Saturday, though.
 thanks, Judy

I would also like to encourage you to join me in supporting research 
for a cure for Multiple Myeloma and for Bladder Cancer.

I will be walking on May 20th with AMPUp!  for research and support for bladder cancer patients. My team is WEE WALK.  And any wee little support will help for the 5th most common cancer in the US.  Our family has been the beneficiaries of this research and support at UW.
Join this team or donate here for bladder cancer.

And my team REMISSION POSSIBLE is walking again to support research at Fred Hutch for a cure for Multiple Myeloma  with DEFEAT MYELOMA on June 25th. My Stem cell transplant and maintenance meds have been working to keep me in a good response to treatments thanks to this research.
