We have been given a unique opportunity to get together as patients, family, friends and caregivers to raise research dollars and awareness for multiple myeloma through our social media actions.
The 12-Day MCRI Challenge will help each of us take specific actions that will directly impact our own outcome or the outcome of someone we love with multiple myeloma. Through a united team effort, theMCRI 12-Day Challenge will allows us to provide awareness, education, and important research dollars to accelerate a cure.
As the second phase of our Myeloma Crowd Research Initiative fundraising campaign, we’re announcing our inaugural “Can’t Wait for a Cure MCRI 12-Day Challenge,” a campaign that lets YOU take action to help myeloma patients. Takeda Oncology and Signal Genetics have agreed to pay $1 for every social media impression that is associated with one of our challenges. Our goal is to reach over 50,000 impressions in 12 days. We have a short window to take advantage of this opportunity and 100% of this money goes to sponsor the two MCRI myeloma research projects.

Here’s How it Works

1. Register

Starting today, you can register to join the Myeloma Crowd MCRI 12-Day Challenge. We are scheduled to start the challenges on Monday, October 26th. We’ll keep you up-to-date on the daily challenge, track your social media shares and tell you who won the prize of the day. Our goal is to have thousands of people taking action – patients, caregivers, siblings, grandkids, long-lost friends and anyone who knows and loves a myeloma patient!

2. Do the Daily Challenge for 12 Days

Beginning on Monday, October 26th, we will post/email a daily challenge for 12 consecutive days. The challenges are simple: read an article and share it on social media, perform a simple act of service, or learn about a key topic that could change the course of a patient’s care. Do the challenge.

3. Share the Challenge on Social Media

After you’ve finished your daily challenge, please share the challenge link on your social media with the hashtags #discovermyeloma, #mmgenetics and #curemyeloma. Our goal is to get over 50,000 impressions by the end of the 12 days. Don’t worry – once you register we’ll send you a daily email with simple examples you can copy and paste into your social media to share once you’ve completed the challenge.

4. Help Earn Funds for Myeloma Research Through Your Actions

For each action you take, our generous sponsors, Takeda Oncology and Signal Genetics will donate $1 to the Myeloma Crowd Research Initiative. Your small and simple actions will not only educate, but will also bring tens of thousands of dollars to myeloma research!
