For Seymour!
My name is Brian Helstien. I am a long-distance runner who was diagnosed with myeloma in 2011. I found an IMF-sponsored support group lead by Seymour Reinstein that spring, and decided to have an SCT largely as the result of a meeting agenda I believe Seymour targeted to me. Seymour died in 2012, and as long as I am able, I will run races as a personal tribute to him and to raise awareness and funds to develop new effective treatments.
