She and her husband, veterinarian Dr. Bruce Elsey, have given a $1 million match to the MMRF end-of-year fundraising campaign in both 2011 and 2012.

CAMPAIGN RESPONSE
Kathy Elsey’s story has produced an outpouring of responses from the MMRF community. So many opened their hearts and lives to fellow supporters by sharing their own experiences, reinforcing the belief in, and gratitude to, the MMRF felt by so many.
Here is just a sample of the messages addressed to Kathy Elsey:
Your story sounds very similar to mine. My diagnosis of multiple myeloma was in 2008. I had five fractures in my spine and lost four inches in height...I have also been treated with Velcade and Revlimid. l am very grateful to the MMRF...for the treatment I have had. Although I am now retired, I am enjoying my life and am able to care for my home and spend quality time with my husband, our families, and friends.
I read the monthly MMRF newsletters and suppport the organization... Thank you for your letter.
With all good wishes,
Sally
My story is so much like yours . I try to walk every day, exercise and stay healthy. My spine was also hit - 4.5 inches gone. I still take revlimid and my numbers are down [I am] just waiting for complete remission. So happy to be here and spend time with the grandchildren. Keep on !!! and good health.
Yours,
Scott
It was so good of you to share your experience as a Multiple Myeloma patient as I have experienced some of the same effects of the disease.
I have also lost three inches off my height. I was diagnosed in the summer of 2007 at which time I was very ill and weak. It was through my doctor that I learned about the MMRF. I have learned much from the two MMRF sponsored seminars that I attended. I also find the regular news updates from the MMRF on the internet very helpful and encouraging.
I try to walk at least a mile daily and am able to carry on most of my regular life. I probably wouldn't be alive if it weren't for the MMRF and what it is doing.
