WHAT IS MYELOMA ACTION MONTH?
Myeloma Action Month is an annual global awareness campaign that takes place every March to raise awareness of multiple myeloma—a blood cancer that affects over 176,404 people yearly, worldwide.
Every March, the global myeloma community—including patients, care partners, healthcare providers, and supporters, unite—to share personal stories, inspire action, and raise awareness of this little-known blood cancer.
Through collaboration, advocacy, and education, Myeloma Action Month helps inform the public and empower individuals affected by myeloma. Together, we work toward better treatments, enhanced patient outcomes, and eventually, a cure.
This Year’s Campaign: #MyelomaMilestone
In 2025, we’re celebrating progress, resilience, and hope through the #MyelomaMilestone campaign. This year’s focus is on empowering individuals to share their personal milestones in the fight against multiple myeloma. Whether it’s a significant treatment breakthrough, overcoming a tough challenge, seeing your grandchildren graduate, traveling to a long-awaited destination, learning a new skill, or simply enjoying a precious moment with loved ones—every milestone, big or small, is worth celebrating.
These moments remind us that despite the difficulties of living with myeloma, life is filled with beauty, joy, and progress. Let’s celebrate those milestones together.
Join Us and Take Action by Sharing Your Myeloma Milestones
Participating is simple! Share your #MyelomaMilestone on social media by:
- Filling out your personalized fillable handheld sign with your milestone message.
- Taking a photo or recording a video holding your sign.
- Posting it to your social media accounts with the hashtag #MyelomaMilestone.
- Encouraging people to share their own.
When you share your milestones, you are helping create a world where people are diagnosed earlier, experience better treatment outcomes, find the resources and support they need to live well, and drive research to cure multiple myeloma.
How Every Milestone Counts
Every milestone your share helps raise awareness and creates positive change in the fight against myeloma. Here’s why your milestone matters:
- Your milestones can help health workers to recognize myeloma symptoms earlier, leading to faster diagnoses and better treatment outcomes for others.
- Each milestone shared spreads critical information about myeloma to broader communities, helping healthcare providers and the public identify the disease sooner, which can save lives and improve treatment options.
- You help connect myeloma patients, care partners, and families with the reputable resources and support they need to navigate their journey.
- Your milestone can drive advocacy efforts, encouraging policymakers to prioritize myeloma research, improve patient access to care, and ensure equitable treatment options for all. Together, we can push for policies that support myeloma patients and their families.
- Every milestone you share contributes to fueling breakthroughs in myeloma research. As awareness grows, so does the momentum for discovering new treatments and ultimately working toward a cure.
