This year’s walk raised over $106,000, pushing the total amount raised since the walk was founded in 2009 by Dan Childerhose and the late Keith Fleming over the $1 million mark.
The annual walk is held by the London and District Myeloma Support Group, and is their major fundraiser for the year. It raises money for myeloma clinical trials at the London Regional Cancer Program.
“We’re pretty pleased about that,” Ev McDowell, co-leader of the London and District Myeloma Support Group, said. No known cure exists at this time. The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms, slow the progression, and ultimately put it into remission.
