Meet & Greets
Our Meet & Greet activities are the perfect opportunity to meet and exchange with others living with, or caring for someone with myeloma from your local community. Learn the latest developments in myeloma research and symptom management from local experts.
If you are living in an area that doesn’t yet have a local support group, our Meet & Greets serve as a perfect first point of contact, bringing together those impacted by myeloma. Very often, they are the springboard from which a support group will be formed.
