WM is a rare type of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. On Waldenstrom’s World Awareness Day, we will be uniting globally in solidarity, support, and advocacy. Together, we can make a difference by raising awareness, fostering research, and providing comfort to those impacted.
Our Objectives
What

- Provide hope to people living with WM by informing them of IWMF’s search for a cure through research activities.
