    After being diagnosed with multiple myeloma in July 2018, Mr. Crossman underwent successful treatment that included chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. He is now in full remission. Since his diagnosis and during his treatment, he sought to maintain a positive attitude and do what he could to encourage others with multiple myeloma and other cancers.
     
    In 2019, he organized the first Myeloma March in Moncton. In fact, the Moncton march raised the most ($23,000) of any other march in Canada for the year. Mr. Crossman was subsequently awarded the Nathalie Allard Memorial Award from Myeloma Canada for the leadership he has shown since his diagnosis.
