Moving Mountains for Multiple Myeloma

Moving Mountains for Multiple Myeloma is an award-winning collaboration between the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation and CURE Magazine to raise funds and awareness for myeloma research.

Since 2016, Moving Mountains for Multiple Myeloma teams have climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, hiked the Grand Canyon, trekked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, summited Mount Fuji, explored the landscape of Iceland, reached Everest Basecamp, and traversed the peaks of Patagonia.

MM4MM: Grand Canyon

This legendary hike took the MM4MM team from the North Rim to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The adventure begins with countless switchbacks as they head into nearly two billion years of the Earth’s geological past.

MM4MM: Kilimanjaro

A 15-person team of multiple myeloma patients, doctors, family members, and supporters climbed the renowned 19,341-foot Uhuru Peak on Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa in 2016 to raise awareness and funds for critical multiple myeloma research. The inaugural event of Moving Mountains for Multiple Myeloma, a collaboration between CURE Media Group, Takeda and the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF), raised approximately $250,000, with all proceeds going to the MMRF to accelerate research for next generation treatments.

MM4MM: Patagonia

In November of 2019, 13 MMRF hikers, all with a connection to Multiple Myeloma, embarked on the trek of a lifetime. This team traversed Patagonia - crossing over glaciers, through deep valleys, and ascending challenging peaks.

MM4MM: Fire + Ice Iceland

In August of 2019 , the twelfth MM4MM team ventured to take on Iceland's otherworldly, challenging landscape. Two-and-a-half days of challenging and spectacular hiking included an assortment of geological marvels, including volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, hot springs, gorges, lava beds, waterfalls and mountains. This hike is sometimes called "Fire and Ice" because on any given day you hike up lava fields and volcanoes, and then alongside stunning glaciers.

MM4MM: Mount Washington

Raising money for Multiple Myeloma, the MM4MM team took on a challenging two-day hike up Mount Washington. Mt. Washington is the highest peak in the northeastern United States and the most prominent peak east of the Mississippi at 6,288 feet above sea level, and is known for its extreme weather and popularity in the hiking world.
