Congrats to the heart and soul of MPN Peoria,

founder Dr. Michele Couri,

for being nationally recognized as an

MPN Hero.

"CURE® and Incyte Corporation held their eighth annual MPN Heroes® recognition program in early December. In the spirit of fostering community, participants were invited to join the cancer community for an evening of gratitude for the heroes who have made differences in the lives of people with MPNs.

Each MPN Hero is nominated by patients, caregivers, and health care professionals for their heroic contributions in the field of MPN cancer or in the individual lives of people with MPN cancer."

Well deserved honor Dr. Couri! And her nominator Marsha Krone , is a hero as well!

Thank you to all the MPN Peoria supporters, without you none of this is possible!
