Help us Accelerate the Cure.
September 29–October 5, 2026
Better treatments. More time with the people we love. A future without Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM).That’s what drives us. And you can help move it forward.
During Drive the Discovery, every gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar, up to $3,000 per gift. Thanks to generous donors who committed more than $300,000 in matching funds,
your support can go twice as far.
Built by patients. For patients.
IWMF began with people who understood what it meant to live with WM—and believed that together, they could change its future.
That commitment continues today. We bring patients, caregivers, researchers, and donors together to advance research and help people navigate life with WM.
The campaign you’ve supported as Accelerate the Cure returns as Drive the Discovery, with the same commitment to advancing WM research and bringing better treatments faster.
Your generosity moves the work forward.
Every discovery begins with a question. Every step forward takes people willing to invest in the answer.
Your gift helps IWMF:
- Advance promising research that deepens our understanding of WM and moves discoveries toward better treatments.
- Support clinical research and collaboration that bring researchers together to improve patient outcomes.
- Provide education and connection so patients and caregivers can find reliable information, support, and community.
Behind this work are people hoping for a longer remission, fewer treatment side effects, and more time to live the lives they love.
Make your gift go twice as far.
Give $100, and the match makes it $200. Give $1,000, and it becomes $2,000. A $3,000 gift brings $6,000 to the work ahead.
Make your gift by midnight on October 5 to receive the dollar-for-dollar match, up to $3,000 per gift.
Together, we can drive the discoveries that bring better treatments closer—and keep moving toward a world without WM.
RESEARCHERS SAY…
“The generous past support of the IWMF has set the stage for an acceleration of research towards a cure.”
— Dr. Stephen M. Ansell, Mayo Clinic
“At the end of the day, do I believe there is a cure in sight for WM? Absolutely.”
— Dr. Steven P. Treon, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
HIS DREAMS AND YOURS COULD COME TRUE
“I dream of a world without WM for my children and grandkids and yours.”
“When Mom had WM in the 1970s, there were no treatments. WM made her life difficult, and it was agonizing for our family. In just a few years, she was gone. I’ve lived with WM for 13 years, and I’m grateful for the treatments that have made this possible. Thanks to IWMF funded research, my life with WM is much easier than my mom’s. But I want more. I want a cure.“ — Paul Kitchen
