🎄This holiday season, we’re reflecting on what matters most: time, family and hope.

Thanks to clinical trials at Winship, Darrell Grimmett lived more than a decade with multiple myeloma — time that allowed him to share countless moments with his wife, Gail, their children, and grandchildren.

Today, Gail continues to honor Darrell’s legacy through her support of Winship, helping fuel research and future treatments.

We’re deeply grateful to patients like Darrell, whose selflessness moves science forward, and to families like the Grimmetts, whose generosity helps turn research into hope.
