When Vinny steps onto the mat, he’s not the kid who had cancer—he’s just a kid having fun.
At 10 years old, Vinny was diagnosed with cancer and endured aggressive treatments, including chemo, radiation, and a kidney removal. Blood and platelet transfusions gave him the strength to keep fighting, receiving 14 blood and 18 platelet transfusions.
Today, he’s back to doing what he loves—thanks to donors who made sure blood was always available. Now, he’s paying it forward by hosting blood drives and supporting other kids in their fight. Be the reason someone gets back to doing what they love. Show up. Give blood.
