Let's Work Together
Empowering health literacy at the street level is a heavy lift; we’re committed to the job, but we could sure use a hand. Become a sponsor and help fund life-saving programs.

💬 “It wasn’t invisibility… it was the diagnosis itself — the cancer, the change of life, the change of everything.” — Thomas Goode @846627_gud
In this moving clip from Hip. Hope. Hooray! Men Talkin’ Health, Thomas Goode shares how his myeloma diagnosis changed not only his health but his entire life.
Host Oya Gilbert @grand_geee reminds us: you can’t always see what care partners carry — and that makes compassion essential. ❤️

I feel incredibly privileged to have been part of the IMF inaugural Fly-In at Capitol Hill last week. The three days were truly inspiring, spent alongside some old friends and new voices united in advocating for critical initiatives—from advancing telehealth access to ensuring continued coverage of oral medications. This collective effort to engage our state representatives reinforces how powerful our voices are in shaping healthcare policy.
This video captures a vital message: though multiple myeloma is living with us, it does not define our passion, purpose, or personalities.
