Miles for Myeloma

"This Halloween, Dr. Rafat Abonour will forgo the candy and costume and instead lace up his running shoes in the name of research for multiple myeloma, a rare but fatal blood cancer."

Here's an inspiring story about an oncologist who, upon learning that there wasn't a big fundraiser for MM, decided to start one. For the fourth year in a row, I.U. oncologist Dr. Rafat Abonour will be bicycling and running a 120-mile trip from Indianapolis to Bloomington, Indiana, and back again, to raise money for Multiple Myeloma treatment. Cumulatively, he has raised over $700,000 and this year his grateful patients hope to help him reach the $1 million mark. Read the brief story here: Miles for Myeloma 2008

I hope next year there's a direct link for a donation. And speaking of next year...I'm thinking maybe I'll be one of the patients greeting him at the stadium.
