4th Annual Schleicher's Hikers 5K Walk/Run Fundraiser Benefits Brian D. Novis Grants

In loving memory of Jim Schleicher who succumbed to multiple myeloma in 2019, walkers and runners gathered to complete the 4th Annual Schleicher’s 5K fundraiser on Saturday, October 8, in the town of Bel Air in Harford County, MD. The annual event was able to raise $11,311 for the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF). Since its inception in 2019, the Annual Schleicher’s Hikers 5K Walk/Run has raised enough funds to support a junior grant for the IMF’s Brian D. Novis (BDN) Research Grants. These grants are awarded annually to promote research in all areas of myeloma to improve patient outcomes. Read the full article to learn how the myeloma community transformed their grief for Jim Schleicher to hope for a cure.
