Maia's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser

Jan 20, 2023

​​​​​​​​​Hi my name is Maia Mancuso and I’m a junior at Walt Whitman High School. I joined LLS this year, and am excited and honored to be a part of Team Vikings Fight 4 Cures to give back and help others! My grandmother died of Leukemia in 2008, and my aunt is a cancer survivor. I’m participating in this campaign to honor her memory and help others and their families who are affected by cancer. ​​​​​​​

Maia's Student Visionaries of the Year Washington DC Fundraiser

Jan 18, 2023

Visionaries look to the future—and see infinite possibility.
They challenge the status quo—and make the impossible possible.
They boldly imagine a better world – and lead the charge to create it.

 

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society was built on that same vision - of a better world - one without blood cancers.

 

I am a visionary; I have a vision for a world without cancer, but I need your help.

 

This year, I’m proud to be a part of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Student Visionaries of the Year Campaign, working to raise as much as possible for LLS’s mission.

 

As a global leader in the fight against blood cancer, LLS:

  • Funds cutting-edge research leading to breakthroughs in immunotherapy, genomics and personalized medicine that are improving and saving the lives of patients
  • Provides free education and support for blood cancer patients and families, including personalized, one-on-one support, assistance with identifying and enrolling in clinical trials, and more.
  • Mobilizes thousands of advocates to drive policy changes that accelerate the development of new cancer treatments and break down barriers to care.

Please consider joining this fight by making a donation. All donations are greatly appreciated and tax-deductible. Please visit my website often and tell friends who would also like to donate!

 

Thanks to your support, my efforts will help ensure this generation is the last to see cancer.

On behalf of blood cancer patients everywhere, thank you!

    My Grandmother's life was cut short by esophageal cancer. She was a brave survivor of the ravages of the Holocaust and I am honored to donate in her name. 18 is the English equivalent of the Hebrew word Chai, I donate once for her life once again for the lives of others.

    Maia, knowing your mother and maternal grandparents as well as we do, it is no surprise to us that you have chosen to pursue such a worthy goal. My brother died of leukemia when he was only 49 years old. Your efforts will contribute to research that may eradicate this horrible disease. As we like to say in our family, “you go girl!” Joe and Lynda Zengerle
