Yelak Biru, President and Chief Executive Officer at International Myeloma Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Huge shoutout to our incredible Myeloma ICE team (International Myeloma Foundation’s Iceland Cycling Expedition) for conquering 150km through Iceland in 3 days! You rode through treacherous 30mph wind, torrential rain, beautiful scenery and raised $ for vital myeloma research + awareness.
Thank you for your passion and commitment to the cause and your journey to Iceland closely mimics a cancer patients’ journey – perseverance, overcoming, uncertainty, triumph.
This 7-day expedition wouldn’t have been possible without Sylvia Dsouza, MPA meticulous planning and near flawless execution. Thanks for putting the IMF on the global map of cancer-based expeditions, but most importantly for *crying* because you cared.”
