Meet Manny – Candidate for Man of the Year 2022!

Friends meet Manny Langella! Manny and I met about a year ago at Collibra. We both grew up in Fairfield County Connecticut. Through hours upon hours of ZOOM meeting I got to know him and learned his Mother had been battling Cancer for 30 YEARS… yes 30. She lost her battle in December 2021.

On Manny’s first day back to work after his Mom passed away I took a bit of a risk and told shared my families story and how I had been working/volunteering The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society – National Capital Area and did it really helped me sort out my feelings frankly fear/grief/anger/sadness etc of losing 2 parents to Cancer before my 38th Birthday. I ran for Capital Area Woman of the Year in 2010 and then again for National Woman of the Year representing the National Capital chapter in a U.S. competition where I place 2nd in the US and was able to fund 2 Blood Cancer Research Grants in each of my parents name by fundraising!

Manny I am so thrilled you took a risk to join this 10 week Fundraising Competition in memory and honor of your Mom.

Please consider donating at the link below- today- one DOLLAR equals a vote and let’s get him to $100k!

Kicking off a 10 week Journey to #cancelbloodcancer with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! Our Goal is to Raise $3.7 million as a team. To join me in our fundraising efforts message me or DONATE. I am dedicating my campaign in memory of my Dad Dr. Ken Moskowitz who lost his battle to Multiple Myeloma in 2013, My Mom Renay Naegel who lost her battle with Cancer in 1999 and my Uncle Alan Moskowitz who lost his battle with Leukemia in 2020.

My hope is to change the outcomes for others by funding research and driving awareness to all Cancer patients and their families. We can do this together! Thank you World Wide Technology Public Sector for Hosting our in person #campaign kick off in your amazing Technology Center in DC.

March is Myeloma Awareness Month- Ken’s Journey Part 1.

Why is this important? Myeloma was something I had not heard of prior to my Dad’s diagnosis in 2004. I had never known anyone to have Myeloma and when my Dad called on that November day and said I have this “thing”. When he said the words “Multiple Myeloma” my first response was “Dad that sounds like some type of Cancer…”. His response was yes but it is manageable. I then thought- how I have I never even heard of someone with this diagnosis.

That conversation led to my Dad’s and my awareness of Myeloma. This was eventually what lead me to first volunteering to work with The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society in 2009. Between 2004 and 2009 I learned a lot from the various treatments, therapies and my Dad harvesting and storing his own stem cells for what would be an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant in 2012.

My first “campaign” with LLS was joining a friends 2009 campaign team for The National Capital Area- Jennifer Keating. Her campaign was in memory of her father Tom who had lost his battle with Leukemia. This campaign and the enthusiasm, drive and dedication of volunteers who form a team to raise a minimum of $50,000 dollars in a 10 week period was one of the most impressive things I had witnessed.
