Rob's Light The Night Fundraiser

Oct 11, 2023

Rob Mannino, once diagnosed with blood cancer, is now on a mission with LLS. They aim to raise $1M for "Light the Night" in 2023 and are remarkably close at $900k. Every dollar counts in the fight against blood cancer, a battle Rob knows all too well. Through the unwavering support of LLS and dedicated professionals like Dr. Oscar Lahoud, Rob transformed a harrowing diagnosis into a journey of hope and recovery. Today, as the corporate walk chair, he's championing the cause alongside the dynamic LLS team and committed committee members.

Every contribution brings us one step closer to the $1M goal and makes a tangible difference in the fight against blood cancer. Stand with Rob and donate today; let's turn hope into reality and light the night together.

________________

A few years ago, Rob Mannino was told he had blood cancer. It was a really scary time for him, full of uncertainty.

He didn't know where to go for clear answers. Doctors were hard to reach, and online information was confusing.

He reached out to his good friend, Meagan Doyle, who works with LLS. She and her team really helped him out. Soon after, he talked to Dr. Oscar Lahoud, who spent a long time on the phone with him, explaining his diagnosis and what would come next. Rob thought about how busy Dr. Lahoud must have been, but he still made time to help.

What felt like a huge problem at first became something Rob felt he could handle.

This was the beginning of his journey. With support, and two years later, he's feeling much better.

His medicine, which LLS helps to fund and improve, played a big part in his recovery.

Now, Rob is helping out as the corporate walk chair this year, working with Victoria Catoir, the folks at LLS, and a group of people all trying to make a difference.

If you want to help fight blood cancer, you can join the "Light the Night" event. For more details, email rmannino@thekulkagroup.com.

Rob wants to say a big thank you to everyone who's been a part of this.
