An Urgent Call to Action for Myeloma Action Month 2025

We need your help!

March is Myeloma Action Month (MAM), a month-long initiative dedicated to raising awareness and inspiring action within the myeloma community. Over the years, Myeloma Action Month has grown to become a global effort, reaching over 50 million people across 36 countries. This year, we need your help to make an even greater impact.

As we prepare for Myeloma Action Month 2025, we know that our strategies must evolve to keep up with changing times. Social media platforms are now focused on originality and engagement, meaning simply sharing a graphic is no longer enough to get our message out. We need real, personal action—and that’s where you come in.

Why Your Participation Matters:

Raising awareness about myeloma directly impacts people’s access to care, resources, and support.

By sharing your milestone, you’re:

      • Encouraging Early Diagnosis
      • Connecting People to Resources
      • Advocating for Research and Funding
      • Creating Community Impact

Here’s How You Can Make a Difference:

    1. Get Your Fillable Handheld Sign
      This year, we’re asking you to join the movement by using our fillable handheld sign. This sign gives you the opportunity to share your unique milestone, and we need you to take part in this powerful awareness tool.
    2. Write Your Milestone or Message of Support
      Take your sign and write down a meaningful milestone or impactful moment from your myeloma journey—or a message of encouragement for others. This could be a personal achievement, like overcoming a tough challenge, celebrating a special moment with family, or even taking a new step in your treatment plan. Let your message inspire others.
    3. Share Your Story
      Take a photo or video with your sign. If you’re doing a video, talk about why your milestone is important to you and encourage others to share their stories to help raise awareness. The more personal and authentic, the more powerful it will be.
    4. Post and Spread the Word
      Post your photo or video on social media. Don’t forget to include the hashtag #MyelomaMilestone so we can track the success of the campaign and help it reach more people.

How to Use Social Media for the Campaign

Social media is a powerful tool for raising awareness. Here’s how you can use it effectively:

    1. Share your story: Post your photo or video with the #MyelomaMilestone hashtag.
    2. Tag others: Encourage friends, family, and fellow myeloma warriors to join the campaign by tagging them in your posts.
    3. Engage with the community: Like, comment, and share posts from others to build solidarity and increase visibility.
    4. Use our graphics: Incorporate the campaign graphics into your posts to add a professional touch and spread the message further.

Together, we can make Myeloma Action Month a viral movement, showing the world the strength of the myeloma community!
