Your wife has cancer – four words no one ever wants to hear and four words after which I knew my life was changed forever! After the initial shock had settled in, the next step was, “What can I do in this fight against this insidious disease?!?”

Finding the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) shortly after Michelle’s diagnosis has truly been a blessing for me – not only for the wealth of information and patient advocacy available, but also providing an avenue for me to get involved in this journey, and allowing me to jump head first into our fundraising efforts as Co-Captain, and head Cheerleader, of #TeamCarlberg.

As a caregiver, at times, well a lot of the time, I find myself wondering what more I can do, and raising funds and awareness for the MMRF, culminating in this Moving Mountains trek to Patagonia, has been exactly the MORE I can do! This past year – between Dine Out events, a neighborhood Fun Run 5K, and a Halloween party, with all proceeds going to the MMRF – has been so fulfilling in that regard.

Looking forward to the exciting adventure that lies in the two weeks ahead – traveling back to Patagonia, which holds a special place in Michelle and my hearts, re-connecting with our amazing team, and truly making a difference in this fight against multiple myeloma – let’s Move Mountains!!!
