2025 Giving Challenge

Thank you!!

A grand shout-out to our IWMF Community who invested in Accelerate the Cure during the Global Challenge Research Tour. Some 1,291 individuals popped into a research lab during our Tour. We saw 25% take advantage of our French, German, or Italian translations. Individuals from the US, UK, France, Israel, Australia, Mexico, Sweden, Norway, China, India, and Canada placed our $400k fundraising goal over the top. We collectively contributed 41% more than last year! 

OVER $416,000 from 432 individuals went to WM Research. The IWMF Scientific Advisory Committee is reviewing new research proposals now.

Take the Tour!

Grab your digital passport and come along on video visits to five rock-star scientist-physicians. From the comfort of your computer or smartphone, you can visit Minnesota, Italy, Australia, New York City and Boston. Along the way, you’ll meet with dedicated researchers, working to cure our rare cancer.

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.”

Dr. Steven Treon, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, US

“Now, look where we are — many labs across the world working together to try and target WM in a very specific way.”
