About Team Mike

This site is dedicated to raising funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) in memory of our dad, Mike Zniewski. Mike fought a courageous battle with Primary Myelofibrosis and Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), and even in his toughest moments, he faced his illness with strength, grace, and an unwavering spirit.

Mike was more than a fighter—he was a husband, a father, a friend, and a true role model who lived his life with deep faith and kindness. Even until his last day he often reminded us of one simple truth: “Please Be Kind. Life Is Short.” This phrase, originally found in his email signature, now serves as the heart of our mission, spreading positivity and compassion in his memory.

Fighting Blood Cancer

On this site, you’ll find T-shirts, crewnecks, and hoodies featuring this uplifting message. Each purchase helps us carry on Mike’s legacy of kindness and strength, supporting others who are navigating the same challenging journey he did. Every dollar from our sales is donated to our team’s fundraising efforts for the LLS's annual Twin Cities Light the Night Walk, held each September.

When you wear or gift one of these items, you’re not just sharing a message—you’re making a real impact in the fight against blood cancers, helping to light the path for families and individuals who need hope and support.
