When Gisele DiNatale’s daughter, Alicia, was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer at the age of 16, Gisele and her husband Mario stayed by their daughter’s side for the next 13 months as she battled her disease.
When Alicia passed away in 2002, Gisele and Mario set out to support other families with kids battling cancer and established the Alicia Rose Victorious Foundation. For over 2 decades, they’ve provided teens battling cancer with activities and spaces to help them feel more like teens while staying in the hospital.
