Take the Tour! April 8 – April 17
This year, you and your family are invited to take a vicarious world-wide tour to researchers funded by our Accelerate the Cure campaign. For TEN days— April 8th until April 17th —the 2025 Giving Challenge is your passport to a World without WM.
From the comfort of your computer or smartphone, you’ll visit Minnesota, Italy, Australia, New York City and Boston. Along the way, you’ll meet with dedicated researchers, working to cure our rare cancer. This is an all-out opportunity to support their work.
How? Your gifts up to $1500 will be DOUBLED during this Giving Challenge. That’s right. Generous individuals have pledged over $250,000 to make your donation go a lot further. You give $100 and the IWMF will get $200. You donate $1,500 and the IWMF will get $3,000. All funds—100%—go to research to find a cure for WM.
Grab your digital passport and come along on video visits to five rock-star scientist-physicians. Our tour ends on Dr. Jan Waldenstrom’s birthday and Waldenstrom’s World Awareness Day, April 17th, with Dr. Steven Treon at Dana-Farber Institute.
If you receive IWMF e-News, you will receive these April invitations. If you do not receive the e-News, we encourage you to keep up with research progress by joining here.
The more funds we raise, the more we invest in research. The more research we fund, the closer we move to a world without Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia.

Global Tour
Dr. Stephen Ansell, Mayo Clinic, Minnesota, US
“We’re particularly interested on how proteins on the cancer cell make it invisible to the immune system.”
Dr. Simone Ferrero, Universitat di Torino, Turin, Italy
“We are studying specific blood biomarkers that might predict disease evolution.”
Dr. Judith Trotman, Concord Repatriation General Hospital, Australia
“All patients in need of treatment should ask: Is there a clinical trial that I should be screened for?”
Mr. Dylan Gagler, New York University's Langone Health Center, US
“The work is early in identifying WM sub-types. The next task — is to develop a way to do it regularly within the clinic.”
