Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation Gala    |    Greenwich, CT   |   November 1 2008

The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation, which was established in 1998 by twin sisters Karen Andrews and Kathy Giusti, soon after Kathy's diagnosis with multiple myeloma, raised over $1.5 million at its 12th annual "Friends for Life" Fall Gala. Funds raised at this premier fundraiser, attended by more than 900 guests will support the MMRF’s innovative research portfolio developed to bring patients new treatments and find a cure for multiple myeloma, a fatal blood cancer.

Deborah Norville, host of Inside Edition, and author of Thank You Power served as Mistress of Ceremonies.

Other honored guests included Melanie Bloom, widow of NBC news correspondent David Bloom; Geraldine Ferraro, former congresswoman and myeloma patient; Congressman Christopher Shays; and Bob Costas, sportscaster.

Cindy Crawford and Tiki Barber, former New York Giant and NBC correspondent were presented with the Spirit of Hope Award. The MMRF Spirit of Hope Award is awarded annually to individuals who inspire hope with their perseverance in overcoming personal obstacles such as a cancer diagnosis.
