The Moving Mountains for Multiple Myeloma organization is truly taking action and creating life-changing experiences while raising funds for groundbreaking research with the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF). As a Takeda employee, this trip was humbling in so many ways. Takeda is truly taking the opportunity to have the patients involved in every way possible.

Krysta and I were able to reflect a lot on our new family, hike and life as we returned home this past week. A recurring theme in all of our discussions is, “What can we do to make someone else be happy today?” as we were able to see the effortless selflessness by so many during our hike. The unlimited grit displayed by our teammates continues to inspire us each day as we move forward.

It is organizations like The MMRF, CURE® magazine and Takeda that are taking the steps towards a bright future in cancer therapy. The hike, as mentioned so many times, is only analogous of the challenge faced by cancer patients but, the summit or the cure is attainable as long as you have a team with the motivation, the inspiration and the support necessary to get there!
