TEAM MILESTONES LAUNCHES NEW LOGO TO SUPPORT THE MMRF RACE FOR RESEARCH

M Milestones supports the MMRF tri state Race for Research. Everyone is welcome to join Team Milestones, and in return Milestones will donate $10 to the MMRF for every person that joins their team.

Make a difference in the life of a friend, family or loved one by joining the MMRF Race for Research- the premier 5K walk/run, Sunday morning June 10th at New Canaan High School and raise awareness and funds for multiple myeloma research. Since its inception in 2001 in Chicago, the MMRF Race for Research program has raised more than $17 million to support the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation’s urgent work. The Race for Research program takes place annually in 9 locations nationwide: Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Francisco, St. Louis, Tri-State (New Canaan, CT), Twin Cities and Washington, DC. As the world's number-one funder of multiple myeloma research, the MMRF has raised $190 million to fund research worldwide.

M Milestones will once again be a team supporter of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) tri state Race for Research. Everyone is welcome to join Team Milestones, and in return M Milestones will donate $10 to the MMRF for every person that joins their team. In addition, every supporter will get a Team Milestones t-shirt with the new logo. This year Milestones is proud to introduce the virtual walker/runner… this year you can join our team even if you can’t make the event, and we will proudly post your name, give you a team t-shirt and donate $10 to the MMRF on your behalf. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A POWERFUL DIFFERENCE!

Owners of M Milestones, Elisabeth and Dan Mulhern said “We are truly committed to support the MMRF, because over the past years we have seen how the money raised by the MMRF goes directly to research, and has resulted in new drugs for cancer patients. These drugs help people with all different kinds of cancer, not only Multiple Myeloma. All of us has either lost a loved one to cancer, or knows someone with cancer, so knowing that our money can make a difference really hits home! In addition Kathy Giusti, the founder and CEO of the MMRF, who was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in 2004, is a dear friend, and we are truly inspired by her drive and passion to find a cure!”
