Raising Awareness in Underserved Communities:
Multiple myeloma disproportionately affects Black men, yet awareness and education in this community are often limited. SKI & Me is committed to raising awareness specifically within the Black community, where individuals are often underserved in terms of health education and screenings. By donating, you support our efforts to change this dynamic and ensure that more Black men and families understand the risks and signs of multiple myeloma.

Late Diagnosis:
Black men are often diagnosed with multiple myeloma at later stages, when the disease is more advanced and harder to treat. Early detection is key, and SKI & Me aims to bridge this gap by providing screenings and education that can lead to earlier diagnoses and better outcomes.

Honoring the Legacy of Those Who’ve Struggled:
The inspiration behind SKI & Me comes from personal experiences of losing loved ones to multiple myeloma. By donating, you honor the memory of those who have passed and support the ongoing fight to ensure future generations are better equipped to handle similar challenges. Your contribution directly impacts those who are living with the disease today.

Providing Financial Assistance for Families:
Cancer treatment is expensive, and many families face financial hardship after a multiple myeloma diagnosis. SKI & Me offers support to families dealing with the financial burden of cancer through emergency funds and assistance programs. Your contribution helps relieve some of the financial stress, allowing families to focus on healing.

Supporting Health Screenings and Resources:
One of the biggest barriers to early detection and treatment of multiple myeloma in Black men is a lack of access to timely screenings and medical resources. Your donation helps fund free cancer screenings, educational events, and health resources to empower individuals with the information they need to take charge of their health.

Fostering Long-Term Health Advocacy:
We aim to cultivate a long-lasting shift in how the Black community approaches cancer prevention and treatment. Through advocacy campaigns and partnerships with healthcare providers, SKI & Me works to empower individuals to seek regular screenings, understand cancer risks, and prioritize their health. Your donation helps fuel this long-term change.
