In 1998, soon after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma and given three years to live, Kathy founded the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation (MMRF) with her identical twin sister, Karen Andrews. At the time, there were no new treatments in the multiple myeloma pipeline. Having worked in leadership positions in the pharmaceutical industry, Kathy understood the industry’s scientific capabilities. But as a patient, Kathy had experienced the broken, dysfunctional healthcare system – and was motivated to use her knowledge and experience to change it.
