For the past 8 years, my life has been impacted by my personal journey with cancer. In 2016, I was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, an incurable form of blood cancer. Since then, my amazing wife Kristy, my support system and Myeloma Canada have given me the strength to live my life to the fullest.
Why AC Waste Supports Myeloma Canada
When people hear about an incurable cancer, most don’t know what to think. What does a diagnosis of myeloma mean? Myeloma Canada is doing amazing work to raise funds, bring awareness to this cancer, connect Canadians with treatment options and fight for a cure that will help save our lives.
For me, giving back is something that has always been important, especially as a business owner. Now with my myeloma diagnosis, supporting an organization that is helping Canadians like me live longer and find treatment options is so important. My diagnosis opened my eyes to the need for more research, more support and ultimately, a cure for myeloma patients.
People living with myeloma undergo regular checkups, and treatments as we wait for new research to bring a cure. Each person has a different treatment plan, but for me, I require chemotherapy, 3 weeks on, 1 week off, to keep myeloma from forming. Life is far from normal, but I am so grateful for all of the work that is going towards improving the lives of people living with myeloma.
At AC Waste, we are proud to support Myeloma Canada, for the incredibly important work they are doing to make myeloma matter, and we hope you will join us.
