Three years ago, JP Kealy was lifting weights and hurt his back. But it was more than just your typical pain, so he went to an orthopedist, who ordered an MRI. Blood work confirmed he had multiple myeloma, a cancer formed by malignant plasma cells. Now they are fighting the disease head-on from two fronts: personally and publicly. Next March, JP and his wife, Annamarie, will climb to Mount Everest Base Camp in the Himalayas in a fund-raising program for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation called Moving Mountains for Myeloma. JP will also be going to The Mount Sinai Hospital to receive chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant.
