MMRF Race for Research

Today's fourth annual Minnesota MMRF Race for Research was delightful, with perfect weather, a nice band, good food, lots of coffee, several hundred runners, and even more walkers.

Dr. Stephen J. Russell, of Mayo Clinic, spoke briefly at the race kick-off. According to Dr. Karen Bishop Morris, midwest development manager for the MMRF, the 1000+ attendees raised $150,000 for myeloma research.
