 vention of disorders affecting the blood\, bone marrow\, and the immunolog
 ic system by promoting targeted research\, clinical care methods\, educati
 on\, training\, and advocacy for Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia. The go
 al is to enrich each attendee’s understanding and help foster research d
 iscoveries and lifetime collaborations leading to more effective treatment
 s and ultimately find a cure for Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia.
