@Courtney_J All well and good, but let's not lose focus of what I am trying to accomplish. I am trying to raise money, donations, all which will go towards finding a cure for that which ails most of us!! Can I count on at least some of you??

I completely understand as I don’t have anyone to talk to also. I’m a widow & I live alone. My oldest son died in 2021 & my youngest son & his family live 3 hours. My father is dead & my mother has chronic back pain & is immobile. My younger sister lives with our mother & she is going through a divorce from her husband who abandoned her. My sister doesn’t visit me, help me, call me & rarely texts me. I have various cousins, a niece & nephew that are spread out in nearby states but are hours away from me. After I told my friends I had cancer, they quit contacting me. I have learned how to be my own care giver. It has been very difficult. I’ll admit I’ve been depressed, cried a lot, felt sorry for myself but I never gave up. I prayed & read my Bible everyday. Then I found cancer groups online like this one where I could share what I was going through & got empathetic responses. That really kept me going. I hope you find someone to talk to but I highly recommend the online cancer chat groups.

Multiple Myeloma Fundraising Trek
So this is the deal. I've been doing battle with this disease for 5 years now. I'm a firm believer in making lemonade from lemons, so what did I do? I signed up for MMRF fundraising treks. 2 years ago my wife trekked throughout Patagonia and raised $30,000, with every penny going towards funding research for a cure. Pharmaceutical companies cover the costs associated with the trip.
This year, I'm off to Alaska and hoping to raise another $30,000. If you are like me, or know someone with Multiple Myeloma, I have two suggestions for you, (a) click the link to my fundraising page and please contribute, and/or (b) look into participating in a MMRF fundraising excursion. I promise, you'll feel much better about your situation.
