Thank you for visiting Leah Joy Manth's Fundraising Page.

Leah Manth is a beautiful, intelligent 9 year old girl who has Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2).  NF2 is a genetic disorder in which Leah is lacking a protein in her body.  The absence of this protein means that Leah's body will produce tumors along nerves.  Leah currently has several tumors in her brain and on her spine.  She has had two spinal surgeries in the past 10 months and will most likely be undergoing removal of one of her brain tumors before the holidays.  All of the money raised will go directly towards research with the hopes of finding a medication or treatment that can stop and/or shrink tumor growth. 

Despite Leah's medical problems she is a happy, normal 4th grader who desperately just wants to be a little girl.  Anyone who comes in contact with her is amazed at her courage and positive view on life.  She is truly an inspiration to everyone who meets her.

Please help us find a cure/treatment for this awful disorder by making a donation today.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to make a contribution to our fundraising efforts. Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think may want to donate too!
