CURE Magazine and Incyte to Honor MPN Heroes
PLAINSBORO, N.J. and WILMINGTON, DE (PRWEB) November 26, 2014 -- CURE™ magazine will host the 2nd Annual MPN Heroes recognition reception on December 5, 2014, in San Francisco prior to the American Society of Hematology’s annual meeting. The MPN Heroes event will honor clinicians, caregivers, and advocates who have made significant contributions in the field of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs).
Special guest speaker Charles Esten, from the TV show "Nashville," will discuss his family's cancer journey at the reception. Over a decade ago, Esten's daughter was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and is now in remission. Following this experience, Esten has become a honorary spokesperson for cancer education and he and his family have joined the battle to fund the research that will help families who are faced with blood cancers.
“This event showcases everything our company and CURE magazine supports. It’s an honor for us to be able to recognize the achievements and accomplishments of these outstanding individuals,” said Mike Hennessy, Jr., President of Cure Media Group.
MPN Heroes is also supported by Incyte Corporation, CancerCare, Cancer Support Community, Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, MPN Education Foundation, MPN Research Foundation, and MPN Education Foundation, and National Organization for Rare Disorders.
To further increase awareness of MPNs, Incyte has announced it will make a charitable donation to an organization engaged in MPN activities on behalf of each Hero recognized for their impact on the broader MPN community.
“The men and women who will be recognized at this event continue to inspire us with their dedication and devotion to the MPN community,” said Hervé Hoppenot, President and Chief Executive Officer, Incyte.
“CURE has been the source of information and inspiration for many patients, caregivers, and families since 2002. The MPN Heroes event is one of many resources that CURE offers, and represents our commitment to enhancing cancer care and improving outcomes,” said Silas Inman, Director of Editorial and Multimedia for Cure Media Group.
