Two journeys
That is Heather, from her first LinkedIn post, November 6, 2026.
Heather was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer with no cure yet, in 2023. She is in remission now, responding well to monthly therapy, and living a full, active life. The following year, Mark was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
One mission
Next March, they walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain as part of HealthTree Foundation's Camino for a Cure, from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela, about 75 miles over eight days, March 29 to April 5, 2027.
They are walking to celebrate how far treatment has come and to help fund the research that will take it even further. Walking for the patients newly diagnosed, for the families navigating uncertainty, and for a future where blood cancer is something we can cure.
A cure
Their goal is to raise $15,000 for blood cancer research.
Two journeys. One mission. A cure.
