Moving Mountains for Multiple Myeloma (MM4MM) is a collaboration to raise awareness and funds for myeloma research where patients, caregivers, doctors, nurses and loved ones take on challenging mountain climbs throughout the year. On this year’s domestic hike, a team of 20 explored the Havasu Falls region of the Grand Canyon.
