Tribute for Norma Lindner
Sadly, on September 25, 2021, we lost Norma Lindner, founder of the Halton-Peel Myeloma Support Group, a wonderful legacy that she left for people diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that is treatable but still incurable.
Follow the link below to the GoFundMe page to fund a memorial in her honor.
