Welcome!

Founded in January 1998 by Ray Larsen (1933 – 1998), the MM Fighters! are a group of patients, families, friends and caregivers dedicated to providing information and support to Multiple Myeloma patients and families and supporting research for a Multiple Myeloma cure.

The MM Fighters! generally (but not always!) meet via Zoom on the fourth Saturday of the month between 10 am and 12:30 pm. Several meetings throughout the year will be held as hybrid Zoom/onsite meetings, which you can attend virtually or in-person. Click here for more information about our group and how to join. You can also find information on other myeloma support groups here

If you are a new patient or caregiver, please check out the information on our New Patients and Caregivers page, and the Myeloma Resources page.

Also, check out the very helpful Resource Navigator, provided by Takeda Pharmaceuticals.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions, need additional information, or would like to join our group.
