Pam’s story is one of unwavering strength, deep compassion, and a commitment to something far greater than herself. Since being diagnosed with high-risk multiple myeloma in 2021, Pam has faced every challenge — Car-T therapy, a stem cell transplant, chemotherapy, and radiation — with incredible grace and grit. Her journey has become a mission: to build community, raise awareness, and help fund the future of myeloma research.
Honored with the MMRF Spirit of Hope Award, Pam represents not only her own perseverance but also the unshakable support of her medical team, devoted friends, and the unwavering love and support of her husband and children.
Since her diagnosis, Pam has tracked her journey each Monday at Sunrise — rain, shine, snow, and storms. Pam wants to make it to 1,080 sunrises to get to 80 years old. She is currently on Sunrise Monday, week #199. Follow her instagram @tinytreks.explorers or FB Tinytreks.
Pam carries a simple but powerful mantra: “Every day is a gift to unwrap.” Each day is cherished, and every effort is made to move research forward. With many treatments already exhausted, the urgency for innovation and progress in new treatments is very real.
Pam’s story is one of resilience, hope, and the belief that together, we can get closer to a cure — even for those with high-risk myeloma.
