The Walk of Champions, initiated in 2009 by Myeloma patients Dan Childerhose and the late Keith Fleming, continues to be a beacon of hope in the Dorchester community. What began as a local initiative has grown into a significant force for change in Myeloma research.
Since 2012, the Walk has directed its proceeds towards funding Myeloma clinical trials and research at the London Regional Cancer Program, contributing to groundbreaking advancements in treatment. Spearheaded by the Childerhose and Fleming families, in collaboration with the London and District Myeloma Support Group, our annual walk brings together the power of community support and resilience.
Together, we've surpassed milestones, raising over $1,000,000 to date for Myeloma Cancer Research. But our journey isn't over yet. With your continued participation and generosity, we can pave the way toward a future free from the grips of this disease.
Join us, and let's walk towards a world without Myeloma.
