Amanda Kuck, daughter of LuHi’s Tom and Kim Kuck, a beautiful, sparkling little four-year-old passed away a little over two years ago. Amanda, most often referred to as “Mandy,” was diagnosed with DIPG on 6/6/15. Unfortunately, only four days after her fifth birthday, Mandy was taken from this earth.
The Mandy’s Mark All-Star Classicis a three-game event that will take place at Long Island Lutheran High School featuring top high school basketball talent from the tri-state area. The games will be played on June 16; girls will play at 1 PM, followed by a boy’s Regional Game at 3 PM and the day will be concluded with a boy’s Long Island Game at 5 PM.
These all-star games were designed to raise awareness of DIPG, raise money for DIPG research, and celebrate the life of a special little girl. We hope to see you at the event to honor Mandy and if you’re unable to make the event, we hope you donate below to help prevent this awful disease.
All proceeds will go towards The Cure Starts Now Foundation. DIPG is an aggressive pediatric brain tumor. Approximately 200-400 children in the US are diagnosed with DIPG each year. Medical discoveries throughout the last few years have increased survival rates for children diagnosed with cancer. However, those discoveries have done nothing for DIPG. There is currently no effective cure and no chance of survival for children diagnosed with this cancer. Only 10% of children with DIPG survive for two years after their diagnosis, and less than 1% survive for five years. You can visit their website to learn more about the foundation at NEWYORK.THECURESTARTSNOW.ORG
Together, we can take a step towards finding a cure for this awful disease. We hope to have your support.
