NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Spearheaded by the International Myeloma Foundation, Myeloma Action Month takes place every March to encourage individuals and groups to take actions that positively impact the myeloma community. This year the IMF invites you to join the myeloma community and nurture your own resilience. We can all take small actions in our lives to enhance our well-being, fortify our resilience, and improve the lives of those in the myeloma community. The IMF sees that those in the myeloma community are resilient on a daily basis, and also recognizes that people do not need to feel resilient all the time. This year proves especially timely for the theme of resilience, as the world continues to cope with the stress of the pandemic. The IMF is asking individuals and groups to spread myeloma awareness on a global scale by using the hashtag #IAMRESILIENT2021, #MyelomaWarrior, and/or #MyelomaACTIONMonth on all social media channels. When using these hashtags on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, these posts will stream to the IMF’s digital “Wall of Resilience” at the Myeloma Action Month website http://mam.myeloma.org. The focus this March is on small actions people can do each day of the week. For that reason, visitors to the Myeloma Action Month website will be able to find shareable graphics for their social media channels. These graphics include 31 Facts—or one myeloma fact to share for each day of the month, as well as 31 Ways to take tangible actions to nurture your resilience. Some examples include taking a walk, catching up with a family member, or watching the sunrise. The IMF encourages community members to take a picture of themselves doing any of these activities and post those pictures to social media. Additionally, available on the website are signature Myeloma Action Month-branded merchandise, including a pin, a black fleece pullover hat, a black fleece scarf, a gray T-shirt, as well as Myeloma Warrior T-shirts, hats, and sweatshirts. Susie Durie, President and CEO of the IMF, said, “March is Myeloma Action Month, and it’s a time to reflect on the past and what we achieved as well as look forward to what lies ahead. This past year has been challenging for several reasons, including the global pandemic that we are all in at the moment. This year for Myeloma Action Month, we celebrate how individuals stepped up, took a deep breath to nurture their resilience, and coped with change to become Myeloma Warriors.”
