"My remission prompted us to expand
our outlook, and it impelled us to commit significant
funds from our personal estate into the Goldman Philanthropic
Partnerships. We see our work as an important humanitarian
effort, one that targets all catastrophic diseases, particularly
blood and bone cancers."

Judith Goldman, President
Judith A. Goldman is Vice President of both Goldman
& Co. and Asset Partners, Inc., responsible for investor
relations. During her 40-year active involvement in the family
businesses and investments, she has managed much of the accounting
activities as well as property management oversight.
After being diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 1990, Judy
participated in a two year clinical trial headed by the Mayo
Clinic that involved an extensive chemotherapy regimen comprised
of five different drugs administered both intravenously and
in pill form. Following an exhaustive two-year treatment with
many side effects, her physicians determined that her treatment
was successful and that her disease was in remission.
Now, Judy has dedicated herself to reaching out to those
with cancer through a number of advocacy efforts and support
groups. She has been a voice for multiple myeloma patients
through her testimony on Capitol Hill and through Illinois
events such as Cancer Survivors Day. Judy also has been instrumental
in working with the International Myeloma Foundation ("IMF")
by founding the Midwest Action Committee ("MAC"),
a regional representative of the IMF, committed to multiple
myeloma patient education and support. MAC sponsors public
education campaigns designed to describe the impact of multiple
myeloma on patients, identify treatment options, and validate
the important role that physicians must play in this cancer's
management. She also continues to play a critical role in
four patient groups and publishes a monthly newsletter distributed
to over 300 myeloma patients, doctors and nurses. She personally
maintains a hotline for newly diagnosed patients. She also
has been active in several advocacy organizations.
